I was looking for some new frozen foods
to try out when I saw the vegetable egg rolls by Pagoda. I've never
been a huge fan of egg rolls, but I decided to give them a try. I
went with the vegetable rolls which have cabbage, carrots, celery and
bok choy. The ingredients also list water chestnuts and bamboo
shoots. They come with 4 individually wrapped egg rolls per box and retail for around $3 - $3.50.
Preparing the egg rolls is pretty easy.
You can cook them by oven or microwave, but I always go with the
microwave for speed and convenience. They recommend a time of about
1- 1:15 in the microwave. I found this to be pretty accurate at the
1:15 for a good cook all the way through for 1 roll.
So how do they taste? Surprisingly
good! The outside shell is very flavorful and the veggies inside
taste good also. It does not even seem like you are eating
vegetables because it tastes so good! The egg rolls each come with a
sauce packet, but I just eat the egg rolls which have enough flavor
on their own. The sauce packets are connected to each other and kind
of hard to open without a scissors. The sauce has a spicy kick to it
but is also pretty good if you are looking for extra flavors to go
with it.
Nutrition on these egg rolls is pretty
good. Calories are 140 per roll and fat is 6% daily value. Each roll
has 3 grams of protein. The only thing that is kind of high is
sodium which is at 19% daily value, but overall it is ok as long as
you eat them sparingly. I only make 1 roll at a time and combine it
with other food for a meal.
Overall I highly recommend the Pagoda
vegetable egg rolls, in fact I have already gone back and purchased 2
more boxes! I will probably check out some of the other items from
this brand soon.
