All About Pork | Healthy Baked Pork Egg Rolls

I was so excited when I was recently contacted by the National Pork Board to help spread the word about the great deals that Publix is offering on one of my favorite meats. Honestly, I’ve never met a cut of pork that I didn’t like, so this campaign is right up my alley. For the next four weeks, I will be sharing my journey of discovering different, healthy, and tasty recipes using pork that can be found, on sale, at your local Publix.

This week’s theme is “Good and Good For You” and there are some pretty awesome recipes over at Pork Be Inspired and I totally encourage you to check them out.

The other day, when my family asked what was for dinner they were relieved that it wasn’t that other white meat, and they were even more excited when I told them we were having EGG ROLLS! Because, really? Who doesn’t love to eat their dinner with their fingers?

These Baked Pork Egg Rolls take very little preparation and cooking time. They are easy and fun to make, and while I was making them I asked myself why I don’t make these all the time.

1 cooked pork tenderloin, (1 pound), trimmed
cooking spray
4 cups coleslaw mix
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
16 egg roll wrappers

Cooking The Tenderloin:

1) Season the tenderloin. I chose to use Kosher Salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder.

2) Heat 2 TBSP oil in a skillet at medium-high.

3) Place pork in skillet; do not cover.

4) Brown all sides of the tenderloin (just a few minutes, really.)

5) Transfer to 425* preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes (internal temperature should reach 145*)

Egg Roll Preparation & Cooking Directions:

1) Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2) Spray a large baking pan with cooking spray.

3) Place the coleslaw mix and green onions in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover with wax paper and microwave on high until softened, 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.

4) Finely chop the tenderloin. Combine tenderloin, coleslaw mixture, cilantro, and Hoisin sauce in a large bowl and toss to mix well.

5) Working with one 1 egg roll wrapper at a time (keep the remaining wrappers covered to prevent drying), place the wrapper on a work surface with one corner pointing toward you. Brush edge of wrapper with water. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the pork tenderloin mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll up. Place the egg rolls seam side down on a plate and cover with damp paper towels to prevent drying. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

6) Arrange egg rolls in a single layer seam side down in the prepared baking pan. Lightly spray egg rolls with cooking spray.

7) Bake until the bottoms are lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Turn the egg rolls and bake until tops are lightly browned, about 3 minutes longer. Serve hot or warm.

& ENJOY!

You can serve these as an appetizer, at your next party, or as part of a meal that includes rice noodles and/or hot and sour soup (take my word!)
