Rib Meat BBQ Egg Roll

Yes, I have written up my air fried egg rolls twice before, once with chicken, once with pork. But tonight, given my abundance of St. Louis Spare Rib meat in my fridge, I had a new idea. I have little doubt that this has been done before, but it was a new idea to me…a rib meat BBQ sauce infused egg roll.

The idea began simple, I would do my traditional egg roll base with a cabbage slaw mixed with ginger, soy sauce and sliced green onions.

But then it hit me…slaw works well with pork ribs. And I have my home-made Shack BBQ sauce. So….

I diced up some rib meat. I got my slaw mix and put in a couple tablespoons of my BBQ sauce, and I folded in some minced Vidalia onion.

Then it was the traditional egg roll construction, a spoon of the slaw, then of the pork, folded it over after wetting the edges. I then brushed it with an Irish butter/garlic powder mix.

I air-fried this for 14 minutes at 370°, it was a perfect crispy brown.

This was served with a ramecin of my BBQ sauce for dipping and a green salad.

Amazingly simple, and amazingly delicious. And I have plenty of wrappers, slaw and ribs to to a traditional eastern egg roll in the next couple days.

I would have put some cheese in this, but then it would stop being an egg roll.
