About

Sometimes it feels good to get out of the comfort zone and try new things. Egg rolls is a favorite of my family each time we go out to Asian food and yet I never attempted to prepare it at home. The opportunity presented itself thanks to Twin Dragon. Much easier than I expected to prepare and you can let your imagination do the cooking for you.
The recipe below is my own creation and it is exactly for 20 rolls.  Feel free to adjust the heat content by adding extra chilis in the sauce as well as in the filling. I like my heat to be in the mild side so I can enjoy every flavors bursting in my mouth with each bite.
