center of one egg roll wrapper. Fold bottom corner
over filling, roll up tightly, forming a tube and seal.

Egg Rolls
16 – 18 egg roll wrappers
1 carrot, shredded
2 stalks celery, chopped (I do not use)
1 can bean sprouts, drained
1/2 onion, chopped
1 6oz. can bamboo shoots, drained and chopped
2 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
3 TBP. soy sauce
2 pounds hamburger, ground pork, diced shrimp or chicken
(I use hamburger)
1 tsp. corn, sesame or olive oil
2 TBS. cornstarch
4 – 6 cups oil for deep frying
4 TBS. oil for wok or fry pan
Heat 2 TBS. oil in wok or fry pan and stir fry carrots, celery, bean
sprouts, onion, bamboo shoots, salt, and pepper for 3 minutes. Drain mixture. Mix
corn, sesame or olive oil, soy sauce, meat and cornstarch. Heat 2 TBS. oil in
fry pan and stir fry meat mixture 5 minutes. (I cook until meat is DONE).
Mix meat and vegetable mixture together and drain in colander before
beginning to wrap egg rolls. Mixture should also be cool enough to handle or you can
make ahead and refrigerate. Place about 1 TBS. of mixture in corner of
wrapper and roll until wrapper becomes a triangle. Moisten remaining edges of
wrapper and fold corners in about 1 inch. Continue rolling to form a roll.
Deep fry in hot oil to golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sweet
and sour sauce(I buy mine), soy sauce or both.
