Easy Egg Rolls
1 package egg roll wrappers
1 bag Coleslaw mix
1 tsp soy sauce
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp salt
Dash of pepper
1 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
Toss coleslaw mixture and all other ingredients minus the egg roll wrappers in a bowl. Take one wrapper place in a diamond shape in front of you. Spoon small amount of coleslaw and seasoning mixture on to the bottom corner of wrapper, roll half way, fold in the sides and finish rolling. Brush water on the end flap to hold it closed. Continue until all the rolls are finished. Heat ¼ inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place 5-6 rolls into the frying pan. Rolls the egg rolls on each side to fry evenly. It should take between 5-7 minutes to do each batch. Variations: add cooked chicken, sliced mushrooms or other veggies.
