We are having some people come for the weekend tomarrow, and originally I had thought we would serve something relativly easy like a stew or maybe something from the grill. My hubby however had different plans! :rolleyes: He is really proud of this Chinese dinner that we make. It is really good, and for a theme party its great.....but it's labor intensive and the kitchen ends up with batter from one end to the other. I know he really wants to do this, but I'd like to do "pre-cooking" as much as possible. Ok...so here it is...we usually make eggrolls, crab rangoon, and sweet and sour pork. For the eggrolls and crab rangoon we wrap the filling in rice paper (that is softened with egg), dip them in batter, and then deep fry. Do you guys think I could make up the eggrolls and crab rangoon tonight, and then dip them in the batter and deep fry tomarrow? Or do you think it would affect the texture? If so would you freeze them or refridgerate? I don't know if the egg will get icky ...or if they will get soggy.... :unsure:

Well, I think I'd pre-make them, refrigerate them and batter and fry them tomorrow. But don't sue me if that was bad advice! :blink:

I wish I could help--I've never used the rice paper, so I don't know how it would hold up in the fridge all night.

My guess is that it would work fine--I always do as much cooking as I can ahead of time.

Good luck with it all :)

Based on my experience, I'd make the fillings, but do NOT roll until you're ready to batter and fry.

ok I think I'll do that then! The main thing that worries me is that the will be soggy, but I don't think they will be since I'm battering and frying them tomarrow. Maybe I'll try one out in the morning so if they are bad I'll still have time to come up with plan B :D

tarnelberry,

I didn't see your reply.....what happened with you previous experience?

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
