The Lim Family Chinese Eggroll recipe is revealed
in our Dim Sum class
this Tuesday, February 23rd |
|
This popular eggroll lives on well after Wayne's family take-out restaurant on Long Island, NY sold. They would make over 1500 eggrolls per week and will still make them today for doting friends and family.
These eggrolls (along with their wontons) are coveted items at their golf community parties and each time Wayne and I visit them, we bring an extra cooler bag to carry them home. I can't wait to have you taste them! They are not the quick and easy version you usually see, but are made in the traditional way that only comes from a small family restaurant. You know I'm the only one to teach you this method, I have been trained by the best roller in the world!
See our sneak preview on the secrets of rolling eggrolls. These rolls don't leak oil and do not let filling out. They are beautiful on the outside and the way the dough is rolled, you always get filling in every bite, not just dough.
 These rolls along with:
Shrimp Har Gau
Sui Mai
Steamed Hum Bao
Scallop Dumplings
will be featured at our Dim Sum Party on February 23rd, where you'll have the opportunity to find out just how fun they are to make. Don't delay, this class is one of our most popular and will not be offered again until fall! |

How to Roll Eggrolls Perfectly |
|
|
There is a method and technique to rolling perfect fried spring rolls and egg rolls, but the goal is the same - you must roll it so they are uniform and fat and the filling does not escape during the frying. Something that people don't necessarily think about is whether you get luscious filling in every bite and not just a wad of fried dough.
See Jennifer's precise rolling technique and then come try it yourself at our class this Tuesday.
