Qdm's Whatever Ya' Got Egg Rolls

"This is a tough recipe to actually write down! If there is leftover pork, chicken, lamb, beef, anything, it can be put in as a filling. The only things you really need are soy sauce, egg roll wrappers and some type of oil for deep-fat frying. What follows is what I used on 2-20-2005 for the ones pictured in the recipe photos."
