And the recipe doesn't say how to fold the egg roll skin around the filling; I know there is a way to do this but ... I assume you beat the egg and use it as glue to stick the edges of the wrapper together after folding. Has anybody done this successfully?

In addition, should one use low, high, or medium heat? Those are my thoughts about this recipe. Is there anyone here who makes egg rolls who can give us some guidance? Thank you.

Everything in Chinese cooking is cut up and prepared with lots of attention. The recipe below is one I got from a cookbook of Chinese recipes, and it should give you some useful preparation instructions. The legend for the ingredient sizes is after it. If you're interested in such things, the NLS has a book that showed up not too long ago on BARD called "Consider the Fork" and that deals with the history and effect on what we eat of various cooking utensils and tools. The section on knives has a fairly deep discussion about the different knife styles between Chinese and European food preparation and some interesting info on how that has affected us, even physically. >Here's the recipe and legend: >Title: Egg Rolls > Categories: Chinese, Appetizers > Servings: 10 > 1 lb Chinese cabbage (Napa) > 2 ea stalks celery > ½ lb cooked shrimp > ½ lb cooked pork or chicken livers > 10 ea water chestnuts > 1/3 c bamboo shoots > 1 ts salt > 1 ts sugar > 1 ds pepper (Liberal ) > ½ ts light soy sauce > ¼ ts sesame oil > 1 md beaten egg > 10 ea egg roll skins > 3 c oil >PREPARATION: Boil cabbage and celery until very tender.
