    Instead of more soy sauce, I would highly recommend oyster sauce. It has the salty flavor, a little sweetness and a depth of flavor. It’s typically used in the meat filling of eggrolls.
    Other suggestions is to add a carrot and add Chinese cooking wine or rice wine vinegar

    So, this is going to sound odd, but I need you to just run with me for a moment. To get every last possible bit of the sriracha (or any other sauce/condiment) twist the top closed, place it tip down in a narrow plastic bag, like a bread bag. Now grab the open end of the bad and spin it around like a lasso, the force of the spin will push all the sauce to the tip. Cause you definitely could have gotten more out of that bottle.

For any recipe if you're willing to cook it until the water evaporates, it is worthwhile to use that method.

    The Little House On The Prairie Cookbook is a terrific resource for cooking on a budget. Here's a tip -- the vinegar pie recipe is good as is, but try using white instead of brown sugar, double the number of eggs, just using the yolks in the pie base and use the whites with a bit of sugar and cream of tartar to make a meringue. Tastes like lemon meringue pie! I won a ribbon at the county fair in the "other" pie category.

  • @hearsthewater
    @hearsthewater 4 года назад +9

    How I made egg roll filling, and would make egg roll in a bowl for your double portion would be to fry the meat off, set aside. Then I would add a chopped large yellow onion, a couple of minced cloves of garlic, grated (not microplaned) ginger, and grate a couple of stalks of celery, and cook in the beef fat until soft. Then I would add the same amount of cabbage as you did, and then two or three big carrots, grated, and then once those have softened, I would had a smiley face spoon-full of peanut butter. Yep, peanut butter. Stir well to dissolve the peanut butter and then add soy sauce or tamari, sriracha or sambal olek, and salt if needed. I don't use sesame oil, but you could add it if you wanted, and after tasting.
    I went to high school with the children of the family that ran my home town's Chinese resturant. They had the BEST egg rolls, and so I asked them once why their egg rolls were so good and they told me the ingredients, which is what I posted above, and that they spread a bit of peanut butter on the egg roll wrappers before filling them. That was the secret!

    Hey, I enjoy watching you feed your large family in a healthy way. I don't have kids yet, but I try to feed myself and my husband in a budget friendly way (overseas in Europe) and I would like to give you this recipe and see if it would be as budget-friendly in the US, as it is here.
    So the recipe is called "Sirene po Shopski" (Cheese Shopski style), it is Bulgarian (where I am from) and in my opinion, it is really good. May sound a bit like shakshouka, but the difference is the raw tomatoes. So there it is (I give the proportions per person, cause obviously I cook for two and you - for six). Per one person:
    2 raw tomatoes or one big one, sliced in large flat pieces
    100 grams of white brine cheese (Bulgarian traditional white cheese or Feta cheese or any white brine cheese) cut in large flat pieces
    10 g butter
    2 eggs
    1 chili pepper (optional)
    For this recipe, you need a lidded baking tray (or Jena glass tray, just anything that has a lid that can hold heat).
    So you slice the tomatoes and cheese in flat chunks. You arrange one row of tomatoes in the baking tray, put some butter on top, then arrange the cheese, another row of tomatoes and the remaining butter. You can add salt if you like, but I don't cause Bulgarian white cheese is already very salty. If you use feta or any other white brine cheese that is not salty, add salt to taste. You put the chili pepper whole on top. You bake that in the lidded tray for 20 minutes in preheated 200 degrees Celsius oven. After 20 minutes are up, you remove the lid and crack in the eggs. You can either leave the yolks whole or puncture them. Bake for 5-10 minutes without a lid (depending on how raw you like the egg yolks). Then the dish is ready to serve! It goes great with toast, plane tortilla (baked) or just any bread. I find it ideal for the summer cause the tomatoes taste better, but it is also very nice for a winter evening where you are just lazy to cook something complicated.
    I find the toast goes great when it is drizzled with some olive oil, oregano and salt on top and then baked (I put it in in the hot oven for 2-5 minutes after I take the dish out).
    I promise, the recipe may look plain, but it is really delicious. Hope you cook it someday and like it.

  • @itsjustanotherphase
    @itsjustanotherphase 4 года назад +10

    For our eggroll bowls, I just remember to balance flavors. Asian recipes usually have a balance of salty, sweet, sour, heat. So for me, that's often soy, brown sugar, a little vinegar, and sambal or sriracha. I also add shredded carrots and diced onion for a bit of natural sweetness and complexity. Ground pork instead of beef is also good!

    I stumbled onto your page a few days ago and love what I've seen! You cook a lot like I cook (but I'm just one person!). One thing I do is if my local grocery has discounted vegetables I will buy whatever the have and then prep them for later use. Things like leafy greens I tend to use quickly because they don't store well. But if I've scored a bag of carrots for $1.10 I will grate them on my cheese grater and then freeze flat. That way I can break off a piece and add it to whatever I'm cooking when I might *not* have carrots readily available! I know this won't work for everyone but it has saved me a lot!

      I have bought & used imitation crab meat then froze left over meat for later use and stock up when I find it on sale. A little can go a long way in a recipe and the meat absorbs whatever flavors you pack it into.
      Also, more garlic; a LOT MORE. Kill the garlic salt or powder variety and use either fresh OR pre-minced in a jar (only way to go) and it will last IF you measure using a spoon instead of eyeing it. In fact all ingredients will stretch further if you measure them.

    i've always made my egg roll in a bowl using spicy pork sausage since it gives more of a kick. The addition of fish sauce will send it over the top.

    To get all the extra yummy goodness out of the sriracha bottle when it gets low like that, add some hot water, replace the lid and shake really well then add to your recipe.

    We love to make egg roll in a bowl with ground pork, rice wine vinegar, few different cabbages, shredded carrots, onions, LOTS of garlic, salt, pep, soy sauce. I don't serve it over rice and eat it as a one pot meal. Top with chives, green onion or scallions and some toasted sesame seeds.

    You should make actual southern style pinto beans! If your husband likes creamy beans you can’t beat a bowl of beans!
    Use 1/2 onion, a ham hock or just a left over ham bone or seared bacon or store bought ham base powder, 1lb of dry beans soaked overnight then rinsed, and about 1 quart of water in a pot bring to a boil then cover and simmer for 6-8hours. My great grandmother always took about a cup of beans out and smashed them with a fork then added back to the soup to make it very creamy. She also would throw a half stick of butter in about an hour before they were done. She always served this with corn bread and home made canned hot peppers which are similar to sliced pickled peppers. It’s the one meal I miss the most 🥰

  • @higlite36
    @higlite36 4 года назад

    Quick suggestion for that half of cabbage: We make a cabbage bacon stir fry and serve on top of rice. You will not need more than a 12 ounce package of bacon and dice it small. Fry it up and add the shredded cabbage. Stir fry til softened. You really do not need to salt because of the bacon and that grease adds a taste of satisfaction. Sometimes a bit of black pepper or sriracha can help but otherwise there is need for anything else. I have a family of 3 adults, 3 kids and oftentimes grandma and grandpa join us for dinner. This easily feeds us. Personally, I love the fried cabbage with the taste of bacon grease so I use a whole head of cabbage. We never have enough for leftovers! Enjoy!!!

    When you needed more sriracha, you could use a little of the liquid in the pot to swirl around in the container to rinse it out into the pot

    My sons and I would make pepperoni pizza with the discounted French bread 🥖 or Italian bread at Walmart. We have bought it for 33 cents before. Our sauce would be 1 can of tomato sauce with Italian seasoning and minced garlic. Finishing it off with pepperoni and shredded mozzarella cheese as toppings. One of the top favorite meals we make together and they don’t realize I created it due to the tight budget of being a single mother.

    Using Ground breakfast sausage is cheaper than hamburger & tastes great in the egg roll mix. Use cooked ground sausage, diced cabbage ( half cook & half uncooked to give it more crunch, ginger & garlic & soy sauce. You can roll that mix up into eggroll wrappers , spray them with oil & bake them in the oven for 8-10 minutes at 385 degrees.

  • @annasaba1048
    @annasaba1048 4 года назад +3

    I dont really have a recipe but this is what I usually put in mine when I make it.
    Ground beef
    Cabbage
    Carrots
    Celery
    Onion
    Mushrooms
    Minced Garlic
    Sesame oil
    Olive oil
    Soy sauce
    Coconut aminos(this gives you the sweet flavor. Either that or I add some monk fruit sweetener to make it lower carb.
    Brown meat then drain that and set aside. Saute all the veggies and minced garlic in the sesame oil and olive oil except the cabbage until slightly tender and then add the cabbage to your pan. I use salt and garlic salt to season to taste. Once the cabbage starts to cook down a bit, add the ground beef to the pan and add liberal amounts of both the soy sauce and the coconut aminos. Keep tasting as you go and add more of the sauces if needed. I like to put a good amount extra so that I have some extra juice to put over my cauliflower rice or regular rice for my husband and kids. Hope this helps!

    It might have been missing a sour taste in the egg roll bowl. Chinese cooking wine or some kind of acid (rice vinegar maybe) would have rounded out the taste. I think that’s what was missing.

    I made the chicken tortilla soup with a few modifications (couldn't find a small bottle of cumin at the 2 stores I checked) so I made it work with additional taco seasoning...added the cheese and avocado and a squeeze of lime at the very end...THE BEST chicken tortilla soup I have ever had. Even my son gave it his approval (even though he picked all the chicken out first). All I know is it was very easy, I had most of the ingredients on hand already, and I am absolutely stuffed.

    You could do bulgoi ground beef. It's pretty simple to make. Soy sauce 1/4 cup, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, minced garlic and ginger, some toasted sesame seeds. Add in after you drain beef. I also use gochujang instead of Sriracha. It has less salt and you can use less of it to make it spicy. Gochujang contains rice for those who don't know (gluten). Bulgoi normally requires an Asian pear. But I leave it out, I've found the brown sugar makes it sweet enough.
