A little about egg rolls... I've always had issues with blow outs and think (with the help of youtube) I figured it out. I've always used raw ingredients for the most part, except the meat. It seems the cause of the blow out is excess moisture. So this time I did two things. 1) I stir fried the veg and then pressed it in a Colander. 2) I added a tablespoon of cornstarch to the filling. Finally I followed this guys instructions for rolling. After watching dozens of videos where people cooked the ingredients, one guy boiled while the rest stir fried. So I went the stir fry route. Next time I'll try boiled as I think the oil helped retain moister.

I always stir-fried the filling for egg-rolls. I don't think I ever had a blow out ... but maybe my memory only remembers how good they were. Haven't made them since forever, lol.

I had to find my old egg roll recipe. I will have to make them again LOL!

The filling is fried before rolling them into the egg rolls.
