    Jalapeno poppers or also referred to atomic buffalo turds. Little smokies, meatballs, sausage dip, stuffed mushrooms.

    armadillo eggs.... Large Greek peppers hollowed out and caps removed and stiffed with fried chicken pieces, or shrimp, or oysters...have done this with venison and also rabbit and also squirrel (fried chicken preferred), then wrapped in bacon and secured with a toothpick or two...then deep fried. Beer batter can also be used before deep frying...a bit time consuming...but a crowd pleaser! Merry Christmas!

    Egg rolls. Getting set up to grind the pork right now. Need to get the bean threads from the Asian store. I cheat and use coleslaw mix but never heard anyone complain.

    I've never written it down. I'll do it in the AM. F'ing grinder chit the bed and I spent all afternoon rebuilding it.

    This is off the top of my head. Just been making them so long I just do it.



    Those you can get at an Asian store. Notice that the noodles are bean thread, not rice. Big difference.

    Take 3 or 4 clumps of bean thread and soak in warm water for about an hour. Then drain and I take scissors and cut them into little 2" pieces. Makes them easier to work with when you mix and roll.

    Brown 1 1/2 to 2 lbs of lean ground pork. Loin is best. Toward the end put in 5 or 6 cloves of minced garlic.

    In a big bowl mix:

    -12-16oz bag of coleslaw mix. The stuff with cabbage and carrots.

    -4 or 5 green onions sliced

    -A tablespoon or so of coarse black or white pepper.

    -The cut up bean threads.

    When the meat is cooled, chuck it in the bowl and mix it all together.

    The thawed wrappers should be kept under a damp towel to keep them from drying out.

    In a bowl, beat a couple eggs, they're the glue that seal up the rolls.

    You need to roll them correctly to seal them. Keeps the grease from getting inside.

    Deep fry them at 350 until the skins are golden brown.

    The wrappers at wally world and most non-Asian stores are smaller and thicker. Good, just different. Get 2 or 3 packs, you can freeze them for a long time. Sucks to run short. Don't try to overfill them. Takes practice but they are pretty darn good. Never seem to have many (or any ) leftover.

    Other things that I mix in are chopped up mushrooms, a couple tablespoons of chopped cilantro, chopped water chestnut. Just what I have on hand or feel like. Is all good.

    Thanks for that ill give that recipe a shot. I made them a few years ago but cant remember exactly what I used. In fact I think I still have some frozen. Might have to dig them out. Also never tried the wraps from the Asian store. Ill have to hunt one up.

    Wondered the same thing. I know I warm pre fried egg rolls all the time and it turns out great. Not sure about cooking from scratch.

    I'm going to make another batch this morning and may throw one or two into a very hot oven this afternoon. I don't have an air fryer.
