Answer 1

Use beanthread for eggroll filling.

Answer 2

The nice thing about making these homemade eggrolls, is you can buy the egg roll wrappers for a pretty reasonable price nowadays, instead of making them all by hand like I used too. But if you don't have access to purchasing such a luxury, then here's how you do it.

Homemade Egg Rolls
I used an eight inch iron skillet that worked out perfectly. But any small eight inch Teflon coated pan will do. It's a process of making the wrappers, and then making the filling. So it's pretty much a 2 hour job, but they are so good, and believe me 12 is not enough.

WRAPPERS
4 eggs
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water

Beat eggs, save 2 tablespoons in a small bowl.
Add salt, then flour, beat till smooth by hand or with a mixer.
Gradually add water while mixing. Needs to be lump free.

Lightly grease a 7" pan and heat over medium heat.
Pour in 1/4 cup of batter, and swirl to cover bottom of pan.
Cook over medium heat till batter is set.
Remove with fork or spatula to a clean counter top, and let cool
You should have 12 pancakes

FILLING
1 medium cabbage grated
1/2 lb turkey ham chopped
1 grated carrot
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Put a mound of filling, 1/4 cup on each pancake.
Use the 2 tablespoons of egg you saved as glue.
Fold the two side over the top first, then and dip your fingers in the egg and put on the sides,
pick up the bottom nearest you and pull it over the middle, to cover the sides and add more egg
then gently flip the egg roll over and let it set.


Once you have all 12 done, heat a1/2 inch of oil in a skillet on Medium High heat.
Carefully pickup each egg roll with a spatula and place in the heated oil. In a few minutes it
will be browned on one side. Carefully turn it to brown the other side with 2 forks,
and then remove when done with a spatula.

Here is a fast one. 1 lb. shrimp (shelled, deveined, ground) 1 chopped onion Little bit minced garlic Shredded carrots Long rice Shiitake mushrooms Egg yolks (save the whites to seal wrappers) Salt Pepper Little bit sugar About 75 lumpia wrappers Mix everything together Cooking Instructions Mix everything together and spoon about one teaspoon into the middle of a wrapper. Roll it up, seal with the egg whites, and deep fry till golden brown. The best thing about egg rolls is that you can make them with any kind of filling, meats or vegetable. Just remember that when using only vegetables or tofu in your filling, you have to precook the veggies or the moisture from the vegetables and tofu will cause the egg roll to splatter in the oil and then will be a soggy icky mess afterwards. Experiment with anything that you want. Spring rolls / egg rolls/ potstickers are basically all the same thing.
