Welcome to the June Meeting of Eden Cooks! Eden Cooks is a cooking club for any interested members of the Eden community. We will meet on the forum to discuss everything from tips and pointers for less well-equipped kitchens, explanations of cooking terms, and important techniques. There will be a featured recipe each meeting, with pictures taken as I prepare it for you. I will cover some ingredient substitutions to make each recipe more friendly to people with dietary restrictions.
The homemade eggrolls we'll be making in this month's meeting are 100% by audience request, so I hope this meeting will be really popular! The recipe can be customized bit by bit---if you do it from scratch plan on inviting a bunch of friends over to help with the manual labor. An eggroll making party is a lot of fun, and eating them is even better.
We made slippery pork with garlic and butter shrimp and stir fried cloud ear mushroom bean sprout eggrolls, and I'll show exactly how to make our version, but any variation you can think of will work just as well!
I had never been a very big fan of eggrolls, and I thought going in to this that, hey, at least everyone on Eden would enjoy it, even if I didn't. But it turns out these were absolutely delicious, and even worth cleaning up the oil after frying them. I am going to add these to my regular repertoire, even if I do usually make it a social event!
During the meeting, two $25 gift cards to EF will be awarded to the winner of a trivia contest from information that I will provide during the meeting, and to the first person to guess a lesser-known kitchen implement from pictures I'll show.
The meeting will take place on the EdenFantasys forum in this very thread at 8 pm EST on Monday, June 18th. I'm really excited to share how to make these super delicious appetizers with you all, so I can't wait to see you there!
