Asian Slaw with Egg Roll Crackers

Are you a creature of habit when it comes to ordering at a restaurant? Even though I love trying new things, if I’ve had a dish that I really love at a restaurant, the next time I’m there I find it hard to order anything else!

Several years ago, I visited the Cheesecake Factory in Union Square in San Francisco and ordered an oriental salad that was served on top of a crispy egg roll drizzled with honey.

I thought it was the most amazing presentation and loved all the surprising ingredients as I kept digging in!

Now, I have a hard time straying away from that choice, so when I was browsing through some old magazines and found the recipe for Asian Slaw with Egg Roll Crackers, I knew I had to try it!

If nothing else, I’m excited to learn how to make the egg roll crackers. It’s really so simple, and I can imagine there could be lots of fun ways to use those! 

Spread egg roll wrappers in a single layer on baking sheets and coat them generously with cooking spray.

Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and bake for about 5 minutes on each side until golden.

The original recipe in Southern Living suggests adding shredded chicken, pulled pork, or shrimp to the slaw to make it a full meal.

I added thinly sliced chicken that I quickly cooked in a skilled with a little olive oil and a dash of sesame oil. W

hen I try it again, I think I’ll try the pulled pork and garnish with a drizzle of sweet barbecue sauce. But again, I don’t know…that chicken in it was delicious.

Remember, I’m a creature of habit and when I find a dish that I really love it’s hard to stray far from the original!
