"No Cook" Egg Roll
The following applies to Chinese "take out" (or "take away")....
If you eat Chinese food in a restaurant or if you have it
delivered to your door, for instant consumption, this "hint"
is of no use.....
An egg roll, whether it is made on the premises or factory
made, is assembled and deep fired....When it is ordered, from
the menu, it is heated and deep fried again.....Since the filling
of an egg roll is mostly vegetable it now has twice as much
fat content due to the second deep frying.....
So if you order Chinese "take out" containing an egg roll for
consumption at home, even with the possibility of reheating,
do not have the egg roll deep fried for the second time....
Have the restaurant give it to you "as it is".....When you
want to eat it....Microwave it on "high" for 45sec to 1min.....
You will never notice the difference.....The Chinese people
will think you are an idiot.....You will reduce your intake
of cholesterol.....Have been doing it for years.....Pumps
