Hubby's favorite treat when we go to the mall is egg rolls and since the wrappers were on sale, i decided to try my hand at it. i was also pretty happy that i could pan fry these rather then deep frying... there is also the option of baking. right now it is much to hot for lighting up the oven where i am at.....i wonder...grilled egg rolls?
