 "HEALTHIFIED" EGG ROLLS
FILLING:
1 lb ground organic pork
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp garlic powder
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 tsp Organic Tamari sauce (wheat free soy sauce)
1-2 TBS NATURE'S HOLLOW Apricot Jelly (optional "Duck Sauce" flavor)
"WRAPPER":
Coconut oil/butter/sesame oil for frying
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup unflavored egg white or whey protein
2 oz cream cheese, softened

FILLING: Season pork with ginger and garlic powder and mix thoroughly. Heat mixture in a medium skillet, stirring, until pork is cooked through and no longer pink. Add in the cabbage, carrots (if using), Tamari sauce and no-sugar apricot jelly. Fry until the cabbage is crisp-tender. Set aside to fill the "wrapper."

"WRAPPER": Separate the eggs (save the yolks for a different recipe), and whip the whites in a clean, dry, cool bowl for a few minutes until VERY stiff). Blend in the whey protein. Slowly stir in the cream cheese (without breaking down the whites). Heat the oil in a fry pan on medium high until a drop of water will sizzle. Once it is hot, place a circle of dough on the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from heat and place on a plate. Fill with cabbage mixture and enjoy! Makes 12 servings.
