Egg rolls?

Buy a bag of shredded cabbage mix, a tube of ground sausage and some egg roll wrappers. Cook the sausage, add the cabbage mix, some soy sauce and whatever other spices you like. Spoon into the wrappers, roll and seal (the package tells you how) and fry in some oil. Yum!

Yum! Thanks!
I cheated and bought some frozen orange chicken at the store earlier.... So next week I will buy the stuff and attempt to make it myself. I love orange chicken from PF Changs or Panda Inn -- but I have to learn how to make it myself! (Oh and the garlic noodles from Changs... YUM!)
