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.

Awsome!! Fixed these tonight as the main dish and served them with pork fried rice, I was alittle leary about adding the peanut butter but I added a nice taste to them. I also left out the ginger (I didn't have any) Thank You for sharing....its a keeper @ our house also...:)

These were quite good, but I think I should have added more ginger and more garlic powder for more flavor. Your directions were great. Thank you.

These egg rolls were fabulous!! I used Jimmy Dean Bold sausage for the ground pork and added minced garlic in place of the garlic powder. I did leave out the ginger cause honestly I forgot to add it. I added a dash or two of sesame oil too, just to give alittle more flavor. We loved these and I am freezing my lefted over egg rolls for later. Thanks for sharing your favorite egg roll recipe, its a keeper for us too. :)
