Very Best Egg Rolls

Submitted by Kzim4

"I never liked egg rolls 'til I had these! Spring roll wraps make the outside nice and crisp without overcooking the inside. Egg roll wraps can be used if unavailable. Preparation time does not include frying time."

Fantastic! I used lean ground pork and added a handful of bean sprouts. I used egg roll wrappers and just dabbed the corners with water instead of the egg. They held together just fine.

I just used a bag of shredded coleslaw mix. It worked great and I didn't have to mess with chopping and grating!

I have never had a successful oriental meal until tonight. These were fantastic! The only thing I did different is use ground pork and added pepper to that while it was cooking. Thanks so much for an excellent post!
