Lunch - POTATO PORK ROLLS - 1.05 USD per serving

Lunch

>> POTATO PORK ROLLS <<

We were not able to eat our dinner at home the previous night. Which leads to having pork chops and hash browns leftovers. We didn't want to just reheat them or throw them away. So we thought of a different way to make it more appetizing and fresh.

Cooking time :         10 - 15 mins 
Cost per serving:      8.40  MOP
                                 1.05  USD 
                               48.65 PHP

What we need


Left overs: (2 servings)

Pork chop                                              = 18.00 Mop
4 Hash brown potato patties                 =   8.00 Mop

Other ingredients:

Minced garlic
Minced onion
Minced chili pepper
Oil
Seasonings
Barbeque sauce (store bought or home-made)
Cheese sandwich
Spring roll sheets

Total may be about more or less 8.00 Mop

Additional:

Chopped  Tomatoes =     3.00 Mop 

Rice (500 grams)     =     5.00 Mop

What I did

Have a peek...

1. Put minced garlic, minced onion, chili pepper, seasoning (paprika, pepper, salt, a bit of rosemary and thyme) in a bowl.
2. Add ample amount of bbq sauce or the home-made one if you have. My husband loves his own sauce made up of (ketchup, sirracha, balsamic vinegar or a splash of lemon, brown sugar, a bit of olive oil). So this is what I used. Leave some for later use.
3. Crumble the hash browns and add into the bowl.
4. Mix everything well. And set aside.
5. Slice the pork chops about 2 1/2 inches long. Set aside.
6. Slice some cheese. Set Aside.
7. Start rolling!
    Potatoes first as the base (about a 1 tsp full)
    Add the cheese on top
    Add the pork chop
    Put a bit of the sauce on top
    Roll them together.
    Dab a drop of water to seal
8. Heat a pan or pot (whatever you have)
9. Add oil, if you can afford more oil, much better. :)
10. Once hot, add in the spring rolls.
11. Cook until golden brown.
12. Remove from oil and drain.
13. Serve with sauce / ketchup  and rice.


Done!

We were able to make 15 pcs of spring rolls. 3 pcs is the ideal serving per person. :)

Thank you! :)
