Marieta's Egg Rolls

This is the our famous egg roll recipe we make for our Chinese food dinner.

Marieta's Egg Rolls1/2 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup pork -- cooked and chopped
1/4 cup shrimp -- cooked and chopped
1/4 cup celery -- chopped
1 tablespoon onion -- minced
1 large egg -- beaten
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
wonton skins

Mix everything and wrap in egg roll skins, sealing with egg. Fry.

GLUTEN FREE DIRECTIONS:  Use gluten free soy sauce and rice paper wrappers.

SOY FREE DIRECTIONS:  Use a soy sauce substitute.

HOW TO USE RICE PAPER WRAPPERS:  Dip wrapper in water for 5-6 seconds until pliable.  Fill wrapper with meat filling and roll up according to package directions, sealing with water as much as possible.  Fry or bake.  To bake, preheat oven to 425 degreesF.  Place egg rolls on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking oil.  Spray egg rolls with cooking spray.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until nice and crispy.

MOM'S NOTES: This is the original recipe I got from Aunt Marieta. I use ground turkey or chicken now, and have rarely put in chopped shrimp, sometimes adding chopped cabbage and chopped mushrooms. (Marieta's recipe is the best.)
