|
|
2 cloves garlic – crushed (or minced from jar) |
|
1 cup shredded carrots |
| 1 lb ground pork |
|
1 tsp salt |
| ½ cup chopped onion (optional) |
|
2 to 3 tbsp soy sauce |
| ½ cup chopped celery |
|
1 scrambled egg |
3 tbsp chunky peanut butter 1 sm. bundle of Rice Noodles (soak 30 min or until soft) |
|
1 pkg spring roll wrappers (25) cut to 50 triangles |
| 3 cups fresh bean sprouts |
|
2 tbsp corn starch |
| 3 cups shredded cabbage |
|
½ cup water |
| Vegetable oil for frying – 1 to 1-1/2 inch cooking oil in fry pan or deep fry. |
| 1 bottle of spring roll sauce from Asian store. |
- Brown ground pork with crushed garlic on high heat until pork is browned (no pink). Add rice noodles, salt, soy sauce, onion, peanut butter and egg. Stir together well. Turn stove off. Add celery, bean sprouts cabbage and carrots and stir well again.
- Mix corn starch and water in small bowl (this mixture is used for sealing the spring rolls shut). Thaw spring roll wrappers in microwave for 20-30 seconds. Cut into triangles. Peel off one wrapper at a time to prevent them from drying out. Cover with damp towel too. Wrap by putting a heaping tbsp of filling into center of triangle and putting a little cornstarch mixture on finger and put on each corner of triangle. Wrap long sides one over the other and then roll to tip. Place in pan or plate tip side down while finishing rolling the spring rolls. Cover with damp towel until ready to fry.
- Place in heated oil and turn when brown (approx. 5 minutes). Place onto two or more layers of paper towel and then transfer to another dish with paper towel.
- Serve with Spring roll sauce (called Sweet Chili Sauce).

|
1 1/4 lbs. thick cut bacon 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
Heat oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay bacon on the paper and sprinkle the brown sugar liberally over bacon. Transfer bacon to the oven, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and carefully drain the fat. Return the pan to the oven, and bake until bacon is crisp, 6-7 minutes more. Transfer bacon immediately to a wire rack, and let sit until cool enough to eat. ENJOY!!

|
|
2 cups brown sugar (packed) 1 cup butter 1/2 cup dark corn syrup 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 5 quarts popped corn (or 1 cup unpopped) 8 oz can salted peanuts
Pop corn and keep warm in two shallow pans (however, I recommend using one large roasting pan versus cookie sheets) in 250 degree oven. Combine sugar, butter, syrup and salt in sauce pan on stovetop. Bring to a boil slowly and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Pour immediately over popped corn and nuts and mix well. Place back in oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool and break up. Store in container. Freezes well.
