Here are a few finished egg rolls. It’s just so good with a little plum sauce.
Four double fried egg rolls in a large serving plate lined with paper towel. The egg rolls are a deep golden brown in colour.

Made a huge batch of them. It’s a bit of work, but it’s well worth it.
Large bowl with egg roll filling off to the right. In the centre is a wax paper lined baking sheet where the egg rolls will be assembled. On the baking sheet is a small bowl with couple of beaten eggs which will be used to seal the egg rolls. A plastic brush is laying beside the small bowl, which will be used to apply the egg wash to the egg roll skins. Above is a metal plate with egg roll wrappers and a tea towel to cover them and prevent them from drying out. On the left is another wax-lined baking sheet with a tea towel covering it meant to hold the assembled egg rolls. On the assembly baking sheet is an egg roll skin with egg roll filling, egg wash applied to three of the four edges of the egg roll skin. Fourteen assembled egg rolls on the holding tray, ready to be deep fried. Enameled cast iron pot with oil. In the oil are 4 egg rolls frying for the first of two times. The second fry is when the egg rolls will be served.

Ok, sharing some pics of egg rolls I made a while back. I worked at a Chinese restaurant in my home town years ago and saw how it was done.
Blanching bean sprouts in a large stock pot. Frying up a large amount of onions in a wok outside. Large bowl with bean sprouts, sautéed onions, some shredded bamboo shouts, a bit of ground beef, salt, black pepper, corn starch, and sesame oil. Same large bowl with bean sprouts, sautéed onions, some shredded bamboo shouts, a bit of ground beef, salt, black pepper, corn starch, and sesame oil after marinating for a few hours. The liquid expelled from the bean sprouts and onions will be discarded later in the process.

Well, cooked minced pork and Taiwanese cabbage with fried tofu that was actually cooked a few days ago for tonight's supper. I really didn't feel up to cooking, but I can't afford to get takeout for the family. Even McDonald's is expensive when you're feeding a family of five.

They could have stayed in the oven just a bit longer to get more colour on top, but people were hungry and we decided they were close enough. They were tasty.
Stuffed mixed coloured peppers sprinkled with parmesan cheese in a large baking dish out of the oven. While fully cooked, the peppers did not get browned quite enough on top. Smaller baking dish with mixed peppers out of the oven.

And supper is served. My back is hating me though.
Roasted spatchcock turkey out of the oven. Caramelized brussel sprouts seasoned with salt, pepper, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Thickened homemade gravy. Thanksgiving plate (turkey breast with gravy and cranberry sauce, roasted brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted root vegetables, and stuffing).

Stuffing’s all combined and ready for the oven later. Spatchcocked the turkey and separated the legs from the breast. Dry-brined it overnight in the fridge and coated it in butter.
All the ingredients for the stuffing (celery, onion, ground beef, potato, bread cubes, and seasoning) are now combined and split between two baking dishes, ready to bake later on in the day Large turkey spatchcocked, with legs separated from the breast and wings. Turkey was placed in the fridge to dry brined (dry brine seasoning of salt, black pepper, white pepper, and seasoned salt). Spatchcocked dry brined turkey slathered with butter both under the skin and on top of the skin. A light amount of seasoning was added to the skin (salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning).

And things are progressing. Slowly getting things ready for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving supper.
Cubes of bread in a large mixing bowl. Finely chopped onion and celery meant for the stuffing. Broth with roasted chicken wings, roasted chicken leg bones, onion, celery, and carrots in a stock pot. The mix has simmered overnight and is continuing to simmer till needed tomorrow.

Took the roasted wings and also roasted some veggies. Everything’s in a stock pot with chicken broth, simmering overnight in order to extract the flavour from the mix.
Cooked seasoned chicken wings on baking tray. Celery, carrot, and onions, seasoned with salt and white pepper on baking sheet used to cook chicken wings earlier. Celery, carrot, and onion on roasting tray. The veggies have a noticeable char from their time in the oven. Stock pot containing roasted chicken wings, celery, carrot, and onion, covered with chicken broth. The mix will be simmered over hours to extract as much flavour as possible from the roasted ingredients.
