Small Dice Challenge: Spring Rolls and Chicken Wings

I was grocery shopping when I came across the above.  I always love ordering Vietnamese spring rolls when I go out to Vietnamese restaurants, so I wanted to see if I could make them at home.  I remembered that I had bought shrimp meat a couple of days ago and figured I could use that instead of the big pieces one may usually find in them.  After all, I am on a budget.  Also, I had a slaw mix that I used to make egg rolls a few days before that needed to be used.  What can I say, I like my rolls.  So, I got to work fryin’ up some shrimp meat.

After my meat was cooked, I used warm water to soften the wrappers, because they were like paper.  This was the most annoying process ever.  I tore each and every one.

Some of my rolls ended up having more than one wrapper, because I would tear it as I rolled then I would just throw another wrapper on top to cover the hole.  They came out okay though.

A little awkward to eat though.  My daughter thought they were too sticky…

…so she tore them apart and just ate the shrimp.

Next, I made some chicken wings.  I put salt and pepper on them and baked at 350° for about 30 minutes.  While it was baking, I made a sauce.  I used soy sauce, honey, and the very last squirt of my spicy brown mustard.  When the chicken was done, I just mixed it all up in a bowl.

And it came out delicious.  My picky husband even approved, and I may just open my own Wings and more franchise.  IMG_20160420_205548
