Very nice egg rolls. I took a cue from Kathleen and added a couple tbls of PB, and ma_young's and added a couple tbls of oyster sauce. This one is going in my recipe book - thanks DG!

Very Yummy! I added 3 T oyster sauce and used preshredded angel hair cabbage and preshredded carrots which made it really simple! I also substituted 2/3 of a cup of the cabbage with prepackaged broccoli slaw because it needed to be used up and it turned out great. My dh said they were AWESOME.
