    Oven-Baked Pastrami Eggrolls, 12 grams protein, 214 calories

    In this recipe, I replaced the cabbage and carrots with a package of broccoli slaw. You can find broccoli slaw in most supermarkets in the vegetable isle near the salad mixes.  The meat will only taste as good as the quality of your deli purchase.

    Ingredients: 

    • 1 package Broccoli Slaw
    • 1 Package Pastrami, 7 ounces
    • 1 Package Eggroll Wrappers
    • 1 teaspoon chopped Ginger
    • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil 
    • 1 Tablespoons Teriyaki
    • ½ teaspoon Mustard
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon white pepper

    Directions: 

    Stir-fry the broccoli slaw with the oil, salt, and pepper.  In the meantime, chop the pastrami into tiny bits. Add to the almost-soft vegetables, along with the ginger. In the last five minutes of cooking, add the mustard and teriyaki.  Check one strand of broccoli to make sure you can chew it well before considering the mixture cooked to  your liking.

    Measure about three heaping tablespoons into a 2 ounce measuring cup, and use it to fill one egg-roll wrapper.

    Roll up the wrapper as per the directions on the package.  Freeze the unbaked rolls and bake as needed.

    Yields: 12 eggrolls with ⅛ cup mixture in each. Serving Suggestion: 2 eggrolls, 12 grams protein, 214 calories
