4 Cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c Bamboo shoots, chopped

1/4 c Soy sauce

Mix filling ingredients together. Put mixture in the
freezer awhile to cool. Warm meat tends to soften the
wrappers and make things messy.
Heat vegetable oil in fryer to 325 degrees.
To roll, place about 3 tb filling mixture in the
center of the wrapper. Fold 1 corner over mixture and
fold in ends. Continue rolling. Brush egg mixture on
exposed corner of wrapper to help seal egg roll.
Put egg rolls in hot oil, a few at a time, and fry a
few minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove to
drain on paper towels. Serve warm with soy sauce, hot
mustard, or sauce of your choice. Makes 18 egg rolls.
