Mommy in Chef Wannabe Mode

My friends always tease me for being such a trying hard in the kitchen. But for this afternoon... I was in my wannabe-chef-mode... that I wanted to make one of my favorite snacks.

A lot of you may be familiar with this. But since I just learned thies recipe, (and I am very bored tihis afternoon), I thought of sharing this to fellow kitchen dummies, lol!

Chili Cheese Sticks

Ingredients:

Green Chili (sili espada)
Cheese slices
Springroll/lumpia wrappers
Oil for frying

First, we need to remove the seeds from the inside of the green chilies, by slicing them 'almost' in halves. Depending on how hot you want them... if you are not a fan of hot recipes, take as many of the inside part of the chilies, leaving almost the skin only. In doing this, I would suggest using a spoon, coz it can be irritating to your skin.

You then prepare the cheese slices, and put them in the chilies, as shown in the pictures below.

After that, you can start wrapping them, just like any springroll recipes. Be sure to seal it with a little water, so that melted cheese won't leak out.

Next, heat the oil in the pan. Make sure they're not too hot when you add the rolls, or else, you'll burn them just like I did... lol!


Tadaaaaaaaa!!! The finish product! Okay, I admit...I need to learn more on presentation and garnishing... but hey, I'm still learning...


Enjoy!
