egg rolls

These egg rolls are so versatile. I think it's hard to ruin an egg roll. You can stuff all kinds of things in there.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 pound ground pork (I used chicken for these)
  
• 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
• 1/4 cup finely shredded carrot (if you're in a hurry, buy the coleslaw mix)
  
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup bean sprouts
  
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
• 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon chili sauce (this is the Chinese chili sauce-more of a paste)
  
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• Large egg roll wrappers
• vegetable oil for frying
  

DIRECTIONS

1. Place pork in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove from heat and drain.(if using chicken, cook by oven or stovetop until done)
   
2. In a medium bowl, mix together pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, bean sprouts, sesame oil, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic and chili sauce.
3. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
4. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of egg roll wrappers. Roll wrappers around the mixture, folding edges inward to close (like an envelope-but roll tight). Moisten fingers in the cornstarch and water mixture, and brush wrapper seams to seal.
5. Fry egg rolls in 1-2 inch deep heated vegetable oil. Fry until golden on all sides. You will probably have to turn them. I set them on a plate covered with paper towels to drain oil.
