Mini Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Mini Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Ingredients

This recipe yields 14 servings.

  • ½ pound cooked chicken breast
  • â…" cup diced celery
  • 2 ounces blue cheese
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Cayenne pepper to taste
  • 14 wonton wrappers (or more, as needed)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Oil for frying

Directions

Follow these steps for a perfect batch of crispy, spicy Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls:

Step 1: Dice the cooked chicken into small cubes and transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 2: Add the diced celery, blue cheese, cream cheese, and Louisiana-style hot sauce to the bowl. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.

Step 3: Mix everything together with a spoon until the filling is evenly combined.

Step 4: In a separate small bowl, beat the egg with water to create an egg wash.

Step 5: Brush the egg wash along the edges of one wonton wrapper.

Step 6: Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling near one edge of the wrapper. Spread it out with your fingers, leaving a ½-inch border along the sides.

Step 7: Roll the wrapper up over the filling. Crimp both edges of the wrapper to seal it, then roll it over one more time to secure the filling inside. Fold in about ¼-inch of dough on both sides to seal the ends, then apply more egg wash on top to help seal the roll further.

Step 8: Place the finished egg roll on a plastic-lined baking pan and repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.

Step 9: Fill a skillet with enough oil to reach halfway up the egg rolls. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) over medium heat.

Step 10: Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning them occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.

Step 11: Transfer the fried egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining egg rolls.

German Schwenkbraten Recipe

German Schwenkbraten Recipe

Ingredients

  • 10 onions, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 7 dried juniper berries, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon German stone ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 8 (8 ounce) boneless pork loin chops

Directions

Step 1: Place the onion wedges in a large bowl. Using a spoon, gently press the onions to release some of their juices.

Step 2: In the same bowl, combine the vegetable oil, crushed garlic, juniper berries, mustard, thyme, oregano, paprika, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.

Step 3: Arrange the pork loin chops in a large baking pan. Pour the marinade mixture evenly over the pork chops. Ensure the pork is fully coated.

Step 4: Cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. While waiting for the grill to heat up, remove the pork chops from the marinade and let them come to room temperature.

Step 6: Wrap the onions separately in a foil pouch, discarding the remaining marinade. This will ensure the onions cook properly without burning.

Step 7: Once the grill is ready, place the pork chops and the foil-wrapped onions on the grill. Cook the pork chops for about 10 minutes per side, or until the meat is no longer pink in the center and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 8: Remove the pork chops and onions from the grill. Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful, tender pork loin chops with the aromatic grilled onions!

Ingredients

This recipe was developed for 8 servings. Ingredient amounts scale automatically, but cooking times and steps should remain the same. Not all recipes scale perfectly.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pinch cayenne
  • 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup raw basmati or other long-grain white rice
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups tomato sauce or tomato puree
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 6 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place an ovenproof pan over high heat. Add olive oil, then the ground beef, along with a pinch of salt. Cook for about 1 minute, breaking the beef into small pieces.
  3. Add diced onion and continue cooking, crumbling the meat, until the beef browns and the onions become translucent, roughly 5 minutes. Aim for a deep brown for full flavor.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-high (or medium if the pan is very hot). Add butter and minced garlic, stirring until the butter melts, about 1 minute.
  5. Sprinkle in black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne. Stir for another minute to release the spices̢۪ aroma.
  6. Add the chopped bell peppers and cook for 2â€"3 minutes, just until they are warmed through.
  7. Stir in the rice, coating it evenly with the fat in the pan for about 1 minute.
  8. Add the remaining salt, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  9. Turn off the heat and sprinkle in half of the shredded cheese, stirring it evenly through the mixture. Cover the pan tightly.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. After baking, uncover and test the rice in a few spots. If not tender, cover and bake a bit longer until fully cooked.
  11. Once the rice is tender, remove the casserole from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the cheese melts and starts to brown, about 1â€"2 minutes.
  12. Let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Chef's Note

You can finish the casserole in a 450°F (235°C) oven instead of broiling if you prefer a golden-brown top, about 10 minutes.

Mongolian Beef and Spring Onions Recipe

Mongolian Beef and Spring Onions Recipe

Beef with Garlic and Ginger Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
  • â…" cup dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 pound beef flank steak, sliced ¼ inch thick on the diagonal
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 bunches green onions, cut in 2-inch lengths

Directions

Step 1: Gather all ingredients and have them ready for use.

Step 2: In a saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and grated ginger. Stir constantly and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3: Add dark brown sugar, soy sauce, and water to the saucepan. Stir to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil. Let it simmer for about 4 minutes until it slightly thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Place the sliced beef in a large bowl. Add cornstarch and toss to coat the beef evenly. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the cornstarch to absorb into the beef.

Step 5: Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 375°F (190°C). Shake off any excess cornstarch from the beef slices and drop them into the hot oil in batches. Stir gently and fry until the edges are crispy, approximately 2 minutes per batch.

Step 6: Using a large slotted spoon, remove the fried beef slices and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 7: Remove most of the oil from the skillet, leaving just a small amount. Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the fried beef slices. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to coat the beef.

Step 8: Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, just until the onions have softened and turned bright green.

Step 9: Serve the dish hot and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
