Pork/Shrimp Egg Rolls
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
Found in a 1969 chinese cookbook published by Time/Life books. Of all the egg rolls I've ever had in Chinese restaurants or made myself these are my absolute favorite. Although the recipe is entitled "Pork/Shrimp", chicken works great as well (or any combination of the 3 or any of the 3 alone). Though I've never tried it, I think leaving out the meat would make super vegetarian egg rolls as well.
