Egg rolls are a favorite of my family each time we go out to eat Asian food, and yet I have never attempted to prepare them at home.

The opportunity presented itself thanks to Twin Dragon. Much easier than I expected to prepare and you can let your imagination do the cooking for you.

Sometimes it feels good to get out of your comfort zone and try new things.

Feel free to adjust the heat content by adding extra chilis in the sauce as well as in the filling. I like my heat to be on the mild side so I can enjoy every flavor bursting in my mouth with each bite.
