What sides go with egg rolls?

Question

I am cooking dinner for my Mom, and I decided to make egg rolls, but I don't know what else to make with it. Please help me! Thanks so much.

Answer 1

egg rolls are a side.

rice and pork would be nice.

Answer 2

Actually they are considered a side dish or appetizer to a meal make some chop suey with beef or chicken, make some friend rice and chow mein noodles. Or really if you do not know how then order chinese and tell your mom you made the egg rolls. Good Luck. Remember with chinese food it is usually alot of different side dishes that make up a final meal plate.

Answer 3

If you want egg rolls to be the star - so be it. I would make a really nice salad of shredded cabbage, carrots, sprouts, edammame and green onions with a nice spicy Thai style dressing/peanut sauce to serve the egg rolls on top of. Then maybe you could serve some lightly stir fried snow peas and water chestnuts with a drizzle soy and toasted sesame seeds.

Some citrus fruit might be nice as well.

Answer 4

Dude i'm sorry to say buy egg rolls are a side not the main dish.

Answer 5

egg rolls are the side.

for the entree, I suggest making a lo mein or fried rice with whatever meat is NOT in the egg rolls-unless they are meatless, in which case I'd do something with a "light" meat; shrimp or chicken.

Answer 6

Yeah, I would consider egg rolls as a side dish. You need an entree.

Answer 10

Will depend on on the context really. Which is better as a snack - fresh fruit to me. It's tastier and gives you that little bit of sweetness. Which can be better as a snack if you are trying hard to lower back on sugar and lose weight vegetables
