Story

If you haven't gotten out your deep-fryer in some time, now might be the perfect opportunity. Egg rolls are certainly a special appetizer. Not a lot of people will bother making them, but once you do, you'll be hooked and will continue making and serving them to your family and friends.
If you don't have or want to use sherry, try using a good hearty white wine. If you don't want to use any wine, just substitute with chicken broth. You can't really mess this recipe up!
