I think I got this recipe and others I have posted from the back of a package of egg roll wrappers. They keep nicely in the freezer for up to a month (thaw completely before frying) and for up to 24 hours in the fridge.

Egg roll filling Instructions-------------------.
Make a sealer for folding egg roll by stirring together flour and water.

Place 1 egg roll wrapper with 1 corner facing you.
Place 3 tablespoons of filling on the center of the wrapper.
Fold bottom corner over filling.
Moisten left and right corners with the sealer.
Fold them to the center, over filling sealing them to the bottom corner.
Brush sealer onto the top corner edges.
Roll egg roll up away from you enclosing filling tightly.
Press top corner onto egg roll to seal (like an envelope).
Repeat for each egg roll.
To fry egg roll, pour oil 3 inches deep into wok or Dutch oven; heat 375 degrees.
Fry egg rolls 3 or 4 at a time, turning once, until brown; drain on paper towel.
Keep warm in a 250 degree oven until all egg rolls are fried.

Tips:

Choose the right vegetables: Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Some good options include cabbage, carrots, celery, and bean sprouts.
Shred the vegetables finely: This will help them cook evenly and quickly. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to shred the vegetables.
Use a good-quality egg roll wrapper: This will make a big difference in the final product. Look for egg roll wrappers that are thin and pliable.
Don't overfill the egg rolls: If you overfill them, they will be difficult to roll and seal. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per egg roll.
Seal the egg rolls tightly: This will prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking. You can use a brush to apply water to the edges of the egg roll wrapper before rolling it up.
Cook the egg rolls until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and crispy.

Vegetable egg rolls are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make them at home.
