Egg Rolls

1 pork chop
2 TBS. soy sauce
1/2 TBS. butter
1 small carrot
10 snow peas
1/2 c. bean sprouts
1 TBS. cilantro – chopped
2 scallions – sliced
1 tsp. sesame oil
4 egg roll wrappers
salt and pepper to taste
2 c. vegetable oil

Place the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Keep your eye on it as it heats up to 375°. If it begins to smoke remove from heat because the oil is too hot.

Prepare your carrots and snow peas by slicing them into thin strips.

Place a large frying pan over medium high heat. Trim the fat off the pork and slice into thin short strips. Place pork strips in a bowl and add the soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. When pan begins to smoke, add the butter and sear the pork strips. Cook for about three minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and add the sesame oil. Add the carrots, snow peas and scallions. Sauté for about two minutes then add the beans sprouts, cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and place the mixture into a bowl so it can cool slightly.

Place filling in wrappers and fold it in according to the directions on the package using water to seal the edge. Place in the oil and deep fry until they are golden brown. Place on paper towels to absorb some of the oil and serve warm.

CAUTION: heated oil can burn – heat to medium and no higher
