• 4 green onions, finely chopped

3. Stir in the soy sauce and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Put the mixture into a bowl and let it cool for about 10 minutes. 
4. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the vegetables down the center of each egg roll wrapper. Fold the egg rolls up.
5. Heat about 1/2 an inch of oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the egg rolls and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the egg rolls over and continue to cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to paper towels. Repeat with remaining egg rolls. You can freeze these egg rolls for later. Once the wrapped egg rolls are completely cool, put them onto a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then pop them into freezer bags. The egg rolls will be fine in the freezer for up to two months.
