| Years back when I took Chinese cooking classes, I used to make my own egg rolls. I don't like cabbage, so it was a chance to put ingredients in that I really liked. The commercial ones seem to be mostly cheap fillers (like the cabbage), anyway. I would make a big batch and freeze many of them. I liked browned ground lamb for flavor, then spinach, onions, bok choy, and grated carrots.
What I don't recall is what seasoning, if any, goes inside: plus how cooked those ingredients are before making the rolls and frying them. Anyone make them? |

| Seems to me they are not seasoned but sauces are. I would add some garlic for the lamb (garlic salt or powder). Only the lamb would be pre-cooked. |

| Mexican Egg Rolls 1 (14 ounce) package egg roll wrappers 1. Crumble ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until evenly browned, and drain off grease. Add taco seasoning, and cook according to package directions. Set aside. 2. Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet, or preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 3.

Fry the rolls in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil to drain on paper towels. Serve hot and fresh As an appetizer, serve with salsa. As a main dish, serve on a bed of lettuce with all the taco fixin's |
