Special Notes

My mother took a Asian cooking class at a church(Seventh Day Adventist?) by our neighborhood. I think she made these eggrolls for each high school graduation party. They were a favorite. She would make them either full size or snack size. We usually had a sweet and sour sauce to dip them in.
