Skinny Chinese Food

Today I was craving Chinese food, so I thought I'd try to make a more healthy version.    Nah....the truth is that I have a bunch of leftover egg roll wrappers, so I decided to make veggie egg rolls and beef broccoli.

We'll start with the egg rolls.   I had left over broccoli slaw from the buffalo wraps, so that became the filling for my egg rolls.   I wanted to sneak in a bit of protein, so I included a bit of morning star farms meal starters. 

Morningstar Farms - Meal Starters - Grillers Recipe Crumbles, 1 cup
Marketside - Broccoli Slaw, 5/8 cups
Nasoya - Egg Roll Wrappers, 4 wrappers
365 Organic - Soy Ginger Sauce, 2 tbsp

I quickly sauteed the broccoli slaw with the Griller Crumbles and soy sauce - just enough to soften it and thaw out the crumbles.      Next, I wrapped 1/4 of the mixture into an egg roll wrapper. I am happy to report that my egg roll wrapping abilities greatly improved since yesterday, when I made the buffalo wraps.   My egg rolls were actually round!   Lightly spray the rolls with nonstick cooking spray and bake at 350 until golden brown.
