• 1 lb. unseasoned ground pork (can add an extra 1/2 lb.)
• dash of freshly minced ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 cup celery, minced
• 1/2 cup green onion, minced
• 1/4 cup carrot, minced
• 6 cups green cabbage, coarsely chopped
• 3 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
• 1 (8 oz.) can water chestnuts, drained and minced
• 1 (14 oz.) can bean sprouts, drained
• 24 egg roll skins (you might need to buy 2 packages, one variety had 16 skins and another variety 22)
• 1 egg beaten or cornstarch mixed with water to seal

Cook pork and garlic until pork is browned; drain off fat.  Stir in ginger, salt, pepper, celery, green onion and carrot.  Cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.  Add cabbage and cook another 5 minutes; stir in soy sauce.  Remove to a large bowl and add bean sprouts and water chestnuts.

Place 1/3 cup filling at the end of one corner. Fold that corner over on the mixture.   Fold over the two sides on each other; finish rolling up   each egg roll.  Use a little cornstarch mixed with water or a beaten egg to seal the end.

Heat oil to 350°F and fry a few at a time, turning once, until golden brown.

You can also BAKE these egg rolls (only 4 Weight Watcher’s  points per egg roll without any sauce) and there is really not a big difference in taste.  Not so messy and no oil to get rid of – the texture of the wrapper is just a little different.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.  Brush each egg roll with oil or cooking spray.  Bake for 12 minutes on one side; then turn baking an additional 10 minutes.  You can freeze these then bake them later.

Can you tell which ones were baked and which ones were fried?  Serve with a sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce or a dipping sauce (see below).
