4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, chopped
1 cup water chestnuts, chopped
1 pound lean ground pork, cooked
1 pound small shrimp, cooked

To roll, place about 3 tablespoons of filling mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold 1 corner over mixture and fold in ends. Continue rolling.
Brush egg white mixture on exposed corner of wrapper to help seal the roll.
Place a few egg rolls at a time in hot vegetable oil and fry for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Serve warm with low sodium soy sauce, hot mustard, or other low calorie sauce of your choice.

Member 4649477: I would recommend freezing them before frying them and they should be fine. Good Luck! Blair, editor for FaveHealthyRecipes.com.

Wow--these sound really good; however, 18 egg rolls is way more than I would want to make at one time. Scaling down the recipe seems cumbersome also. Do the rolls freeze well after assembling, before frying?
