Pork Egg Rolls

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground pork
1/2 cup minced yellow onions
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pound bok choy, shredded
1/2 pound medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
Soy sauce, to taste
1/4 cup sake
1 tablespoon sugar
1 pound fresh bean sprouts, washed and patted dry
1/4 cup green onions, green part only
20 (6-inch) egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
Oil, for frying

Preheat the fryer. In a wok, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork. Season with salt and pepper. Stir fry for 3 minutes. Add the onions and garlic, continue to cook for 2 minutes. Add the bok choy and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Season with the sesame oil, soy sauce, sake and sugar. Add the sprouts and green onions and mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat and cool completely. To assemble, spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling in a rectangular shape on the center of each wrapper. Fold in the ends toward the center about 1/4-inch. Then, beginning at the bottom, roll up the wrapper, like a jelly roll, using a little of the egg wash to seal the end tightly. Repeat until all of the egg rolls are done. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown, stirring occasionally for overall browning, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
Yield: 20 egg rolls

**This is a great recipe. I usually leave out the sake when I am making them for my boys, but they are really easy and they taste wonderful! You can also leave out the shrimp if you choose.**
