2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 pound ground pork
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
3 cups coleslaw mix
1 teaspoon Chinese Five spice
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sriracha
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten
oil for frying

Heat the 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the pork with a spatula,
until meat is browned and cooked through. Add the garlic and ginger then cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the coleslaw mix and green onions. Add the Chinese five spice, red
pepper flakes and sriracha. Cook until cabbage is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, then remove from heat. Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of filling onto each egg roll wrapper and fold according to package directions, using the beaten egg to seal the edges of the wrappers as you go. Pour 2-3 inches of oil into a deep pot. Heat the oil to 350 degrees. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until browned all over, approximately 3-5 minutes.

1 medium cauliflower
1 egg
2 cups mozzarella cheese or Italian Blend
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Italian spices
1 cup pizza sauce
turkey pepperoni
other toppings

To make the crust, put the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until a rice like texture is achieved. Spread out and place on a baking sheet, baking for 5 to 7 minutes at 425. Let cool slighty and place the cauliflower in a kitchen towel. Here's the Secret…..twist the towel and squeeze as as much moisture as you can. You want a nice, dry crust.
Place the cauliflower in a mixing bowl and mix well with your hands incorporating the egg, 1 cup of the cheese, salt, and Italian seasonings. Lay out onto a greased baking sheet and form your preferred shape, making the edges a little higher to form the "crust".

Place in th oven at 425 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove and top with pizza sauce, remainging one cup of cheese, turkey pepperoni, and whatever pizza toppings you like.
Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is nicely melted.
