Updated on Nov 4, 2014

This is one of my daughter's favorite dishes. I don't make them very often because they are quite labor intensive, but occasionally I make a couple of dozen egg rolls and put them in the freezer so I have them when I make Chinese food or just for the family to snack on from time to time.

How To Make egg rolls

Lightly brush exposed corner with cornstarch mixture. Tightly roll the filled end of the wrapper toward the exposed corner. Gently press to seal.
