These very flavorful egg rolls are a special treat and one of our favorite hot hors d'ouerves. They can be partially fried for re-heating later or cooked until golden brown.

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia
