Asian Spring Rolls

Submitted by ChefDebs

"My teenage daughter would live off store bought frozen egg rolls if she could. I hate to think what is actually in those, so I set about making my own, by taking the best ingredients from several different recipes, I created a delicious egg roll, which she can take out the freezer and pop in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes and enjoy, also this way I know what she is eating!! For a quick dipping sauce, I buy Asian duck sauce from the grocery store."
