ginger; add to the pork mixture and bring to a boil, stirring. Remove
from heat and cool. Stack the egg roll wrappers and cut in half to
form rectangles.
Forming one roll at a time, place a heaping a teaspoonful of pork
mixture on one end of rectangle, moisten the long edges, and roll up.
Press the edges together to seal. Egg roll may be prepared to this
point, then refrigerated for several hours or overnight or frozen for

cooking. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. and fry the egg rolls, 4 or
