NOTES : You may substitute canned sprouts. Rinse, drain and cover with cold
water in a bowl and refrigerate for about an hour. Rinse and pat dry.
If you can't find bamboo shoots use a can of water chestnuts, drained and
chopped.
You can also add 1 finely shredded carrot for color, add with the pork and
vegetables. I freeze extras and heat in the microwave for a snack.
1 T Cornstarch blended with 1 T water can be substituted for the egg wash.
Peanut oil tolerates higher frying heats than regular corn or vegetable oil.
Use oil of your choice.
