Hoisin Pork Egg Rolls

Hoisin pork egg rolls are tasty hoisin pork paired with an Asian slaw. All wrapped up in an egg roll wrapper and fried. Appetizer perfection.

Sometimes it’s all about a good concept.
I had seen several times before the idea of a BBQ egg roll and lately the idea of a hoisin pork egg roll had been running through my head.  Yeah, that idea has been tempting my pallet for a few weeks on the to do list.

Unfortunately, the same night I had been prepped to make these Hoisin pork egg rolls, I enjoyed a late lunch of chimichangas (cuz I can’t turn down Mexican), so I wasn’t able to gorge myself on these delicious egg rolls the way I had planned to. But don’t worry, there were plenty of them left over for annihilation later. 🙂
