Even though egg rolls seem to be difficult to make, they really are not. They come together pretty quickly also. Since they are treats that we rarely make, we fry them, but you can also bake them if you prefer.
If you prefer, substitute the pork for chicken or mini shrimp. They are great without meat also!
