That sure looks good. Got to give this a try. Things for the. Video 👍
I use a Bread Knife (serrated knife) to finely cut my cabbage it makes it so easy. Try and see what you think 😉
The griddle would make me a little crazy, but love the recipe. Will definitely try!
That looks like perfection!
Girl, that cornstarch tip takes these up ten notches! Thank you for sharing.😊❤
Why would you use a grill plate and not a wok?… so messy trying to mix and keep it on the plate..👎
I have had my eye on the griddle. They look so efficient. Yummy. Now I need an egg roll! Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
Tht looks delicious!! Can u make a video on chicken Alfredo plz
I can imagine how good it smells in your house. 🤗👍😋
Looks great
Girl, you know how to cook any type of food! I use a wok for better control and use cauliflower rice to make it healthier. I also use Coconut Aminos in place of soy sauce also to save calories and better for you (also much more flavor – very spicy). I add chopped broccoli to my rice. I do not have your talent to make homemade eggrolls (yours looks so yummy!). I am not sure if your videos encourage me or intimidates me! Thanks for great tips!!
If you were making chicken egg rolls what sauce would you use?
I'm on day 1 of a 3 day fast for shoulder pain. What the heck am I doing watching Simply Mamá?!! 😂😊 Looks so dang delicious!!
Ohhh I can't wait for my back to heal so i can go back to cooking your recipes. I want to know if I can use anything other than pork or beef. I'm allergic
Angelica, do you have some recipes or suggestions about how to best use gochugaru? I’ve used them on eggs, roasted veggies and a rice bowl but I’m out of ideas! 🙂
Why do people always put eggs in the rice?
Your intro song sounds like part of a soundtrack of a horror movie. It’s not necessary. The recipe looks good.
My husband was just telling me I need to learn to cook this lol
Yummy yummy yummy looks delicious 😋🤤👍🏽
All of it looks so delicious ❤❤❤ Thanks Angelica. I need to make this asap❤❤❤❤
