    Hey folks, Kevin here. The name of the restaurant in Chicago with the amazing egg rolls is Chef's Special Cocktail Bar. Do you have a favorite egg roll, and if so, where? I'd love to know. --kevin

    Where I grew up - a suburb of Chicago, about 45-60 min south - they add a bit of peanut butter to the mix! Apparently something started by Chicago and Pittsburgh (I think (edit: it's Philadelphia) restaurants! Makes a HUGE difference and it's hard to find anything else like it! I never knew what it was that made them special til it was pointed out as an allergy and it clicked. Makes sense, too - peanuts, sugar, and oil! I think I've only found one recipe in a cookbook out there to use it. Gotta call that restaurant to see if they'd give me the recipe, I miss them so much! Great article in the Chicago Tribune about it.

    I've known my wife for almost 45 years, and she wouldn't eat egg rolls. Great, two for me.. Within the last 6 months, she tried one and now she loves them. Sometimes we'll stop at a random Chinese restaurant while on a Sunday drive and get a couple for snacks. Now when we order Chinese, she orders extras for the next day. Strange times.

    The use of shrimp and ground pork is the base for a Filipino Spring roll, what we call in the Philippines “Lumpia Shanghai”. Lumpia is basically Amoy, Fujianese inspired dish that was introduced by Chinese workers / traders from the time our country was under Spanish Colonization. It has been voted one of the world best type of Spring Roll and is eaten traditionally with a garlic / soy sauce infused sweet and sour sauce. It is a staple on the Filipino table for big celebrations and parties.

    I've made these a few times already, and I have a couple of tips For the wrappers: Use "TYJ Spring Roll Pastry" wrappers from Spring Home. They're in the frozen section. It's quite a bit of time and effort to make the filling, so make a double batch. Use 1/3 cup instead of 1/4 cup for bigger, plumper egg rolls Yes, you can make them in the air fryer, but they're kind of dry. 400 deg for 20 min. If making to freeze, fry them in oil for 3 min, let them cool, then freeze. They'll be perfect for the air fryer, since they're nice and oiled up.

    My Mom’s are my favorite..celery onions bean sprouts chicken shrimp cha Siu pork and dried shitake mushrooms…all cooked before rolling and frying. My Dad would mix up the hot mustard.. He would grill the Char Siu on a charcoal BBQ after marinating for 3 days. Your version looks like an interesting Americanized Chef version, which would be good for everyday cooking.

    Hey guys, I love your cooking segments together. Egg rolls look great. You make it look almost easy. I’ve made egg rolls before with varying success, so I’m anxious to try your recipe. I’m shocked, though, that no one has mentioned Pailin’s Kitchen recipe for Thai Sweet Chile/Chili Sauce from about 5 years ago. I always make this when our farmer’s market has red chiles, and I always keep it in the fridge for anytime I need an Asian dipping sauce. It lasts forever in a jar in the fridge. I love spicy mustard that knocks your socks off too, but try Pailin’s simple recipe if you love sweet and sour! (Is it wrong to dip Chinese/American egg rolls in a Thai sauce?)
