Chinese New Year 2012

We had a blast celebrating the Year of the Dragon!  Celebrating the Chinese New Year is one of our favorite traditions.  We invited two families over to share in the festivities.  We made our favorite  Butter Yaki and Egg Rolls.  It is always soooo good!  We then played our traditional Chinese Proverb game- (like Balderdash) and had Fortune Cookies and oranges.  Good times!

Egg Rolls
2 c. chopped chicken breast.  I fry it in a little oil with garlic salt then chop it up.
1 garlic clove
After chicken is cooked add:
1 c. chopped green onion
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbl. sugar
31/2 Tbs. soy sauce
1/2 lb bean sprouts
1/2 c. shredded carrots
1 head thin sliced cabbage
1 egg slightly beaten
Cook until cabbage is softened.  Let mixture cool.  Using egg roll skins- form into rolls following directions on package.  Deep fry.  Makes about 21 Egg Rolls.
