Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 5
• 5 individual egg roll wraps
• 1/4 cup broccoli (tops only)
• 1/8 cup mozzarella cheese (more or less depending on what you like)
• 2/3 cup tofu (or meat product, but this is a vegetarian recipe so its tofu)
• 1 tablespoon sliced carrot
• 1 tablespoon cabbage or 1 tablespoon lettuce
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (more of less depending on what you like)
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• cooking oil

Recipe

• 1 now that you have the ingredients, your ready to cook. first, take out a stir fry pan and put a reasonable amount of cooking oil in it. next, crumble up medium or extra firm tofu and add the onion powder to it. put that mixture into the pan and let it brown on high heat. now, after that is browned up, add the carrot, broccoli, and lettuce/cabbage into the pan. cook that on medium heat for about 2 minutes then turn to simmer and add cheese. cover with a lid and let it sit for a minute. now that your insides are all done, we need to roll the egg wrap. take out a sheet of egg roll wrap and make it in a diamond shape. then, place insides directly in the middle horizontally. now, roll the bottom side up, covering the insides. next, roll the left side in and the right side inches now roll the bottom up until you have the top side folded over and it looks like an egg roll. repeat this till you have used all five of your sheets. now its time to fry them up! well, deep frying is not a must here, they taste good either way. i just fry them in the pan i used for the tofu earlier. then after their brown on both sides, let them cool off and there ya go! abrigos de vegetal!
