Miriam's Egg Rolls

My sister introduced me to homemade egg rolls with this recipe. It's more time consuming than other recipes I make, but worth it. If you've got "helpers" to help roll them, that saves a lot of time. Usually after we've stir-fried all the ingredients, we put the bowl in the middle of the table, give everybody a spoon, and let everyone roll their own. Kids love it!

We really enjoyed these egg rolls! I used 1/2 ground turkey and 1/2 ground pork. The veggie/meat ratio is just right, I did add 1 shredded carrot (I am always looking for a delicious way to get more veggies into our diet!) This is an easy to follow recipe big on flavor! Thank you mailbelle! I doubled the recipe and flash frozen 1/2 the eggrolls so I can have them again very soon! Made for Unrated Asain Recipe Tag

These were so GOOD! This was my first time making egg rolls. It was time consuming but well worth it. I prepared everything early in the day, so when it was time to fry it went easy. I served them with Peanut sauce. I will make these again for sure. I am sorry that my photo is blurry, but it was the only good one from 7 photos I took. Thank You for posting the recipe.
