I love greasy, Chinese takeout as much as the next girl. My hips, however, don’t agree with this obsession. Simply put, I can’t subject my body to the high amounts of sugar, fat, oil and MSG that typically come with your delivery.
That’s why I’ve made it my mission to remake these yummy takeout favorites and make them just a little bit healthier for you! Today’s creation is a delicious baked pork egg roll. Not only are these so much healthier than the traditional greasy bombs you’ll get from your favorite takeout place, but their super easy and fun to make.
Start by cooking your pork filling and rice noodles. Next, assemble your eggrolls. Add your cooked noodles, pork mixture and coleslaw onto the wrapper.
Make sure not to over stuff your eggroll. Begin to roll away.
Seal the eggrolls with your egg wash.
Assemble the egg rolls on a baking sheet covered with a greased wired rack. Brush the eggrolls with remaining egg wash and bake.
Serve alongside some sweet chili sauce and ENJOY!
