Glad to hear someone is enjoying my fathers recipe for egg rolls! Skip Murray is my dad and he would be happy to know that people are enjoying the food he made and created. I have to admit, i was the picky daughter of the family, :) and dad worked diligently to get me to try new things, his egg rolls are the only ones i eat now. I LOVE THIS RECIPIE! It was made for me. He'll never be able to make it again for me but i am glad that others can make it for their family as I will for my family in the future. Always enjoy life and gather around the table with the ones you love with great food. Those memories will last a lifetime and then some! :)

Loved them! I never had a clue how easy egg rolls were! I followed your recipe faithfully with the exception of cole slaw mix for the cabbage and carrot. In addition, I've tried pork in one batch, chicken in another and shrimp in the last. All turned out great! Even the leftovers were good but certainly not with the initial crunch. Thanks for the recipe! Update: Leftovers are good but freezing these just before frying step is even better. Just pop a few out of the freezer, microwave at 1/4 power for a minute or two and fry. Just as good as fresh and way more convenient. (When freezing, do not let them touch until solid. Place in bags at this point.)
