These were a big hit! Who would have thought that baking eggrolls would turn out so well? I may try the technique with other fillings. I DO think that turning them halfway thru is critical, the bottom may brown too much otherwise. I did not brush with oil but sprayed with PAM instead. That seemed to do the trick. I substituted ground turkey for the pork... which worked perfectly. Reduced the ginger and omitted the chili sauce due to family preferences. I didn't have sesame oil so I omitted it but will be sure to add it next time. Also I think it could stand more cabbage than called for. The only thing is that I think it should say 2 Tbs of mixture. I doubled the recipe, used 2+Tbs and it would have made 24 if I had enough wrappers. Also... you're honored with my first photo upload. I noticed that there wasn't one so I tried my hand at taking a pic. :o)
