Cabbage Free Cambodian Egg Rolls

Submitted by nome179er

"This is my mother in laws receipe for cambodian egg rolls. She is originally from Cambodia, and these are by far the best egg rolls I have ever eaten. These have no cabbage in them, and the noodles you will find in the asian aisle at your local supermarket. No trip to an asian market required :-) 1 pound of meat needs 1 package of egg roll wrappers. Make sure to let your egg roll wrappers thaw an hour before starting, as per the directions"

These egg rolls are very tasty! The recipe doesn't specify the package size of the vermicelli mung bean noodles, and it ended up looking like there were too many noodles in my mixture. I had a hard time incorporating all the noodles into the meat, and I ended up with a lot more filling after using the 50 egg roll wrappers, so I suspect my package of noodles may have been too much. However, I could be wrong and maybe that's how the mixture is supposed to be. They did taste great! I froze the rest to fry up at a later date. Thanks for the recipe!
