    Add the chicken stock and sugar, bring the mixture to a boil and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Simmer until lightly thickened. Stir in sesame oil, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 3
    Have 1 cup water at a boil. Remove from heat and whisk in cornstarch mixture.
  • Step 4
    Have 12 egg roll wrappers ready under a dampened towel. Place a portion of the filing in a line diagonally across one corner of wrapper, brush with some of cornstarch paste and fold in the ends. Roll tightly to make a sealed cylinder. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
