    Instructions

    Serves 8. In a saucepan combine water, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ketchup and hot pepper sauce and bring to a boil. Season to taste and simmer 5 minutes Stir in dissolved cornstarch; cook until lightly thickened and glossy. In a bowl, combine pork, green onion, ginger, garlic, mushrooms, water chestnuts and fish sauce and blend thoroughly. Beat egg lightly and add to pork mixture, reserving a teaspoon or so for sealing rolls. Season generously with pepper. Saute a small piece of filling, taste and adjust seasoning. Spread about 2 Tbsp filling diagonally across the middle of a wrapper. Roll and seal. Egg rolls may be rolled up to 1 hour ahead of frying. Heat oil in fryer to 350 F.
