Shrimp and Vegetable Egg Rolls


I adore Chinese takeout.  But let's be honest ... I have no idea what's hiding in my delicious takeout and if I did, I'd probably never eat it again.  Lately, I make most of our Chinese-inspired dishes at home - and I love it this way.  Yes - I fried these egg rolls, so they aren't super-healthy, but I do know each and every ingredient that went into the dish.  Love.
What's your favorite "takeout fakeout" dish?
Best dishes and yummy dreams!

These do look delicious! What is Tiger Sauce. I have the other sauces but haven't heard of this one.
We love homemade curry.
