That was added to a stir fry of cabbage, green onion, garlic and
ginger

Then I added a slurry of soy sauce, cornstarch, water and a squeeze of
fresh lime juice and cooked for just a minute or two

Ready to eat with snow peas to dip in the soy sauce seasoned with
ginger and fresh lime juice.
I was going to add the snow peas to the filling but changed my mind.

They turned out just delicious. I have a lot of ideas for more Spring
Rolls. It was a lot of fun.

Here is the recipe from the egg/spring roll wrapper that I didn't
follow exactly ;-)

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Shanghai Seafood Egg Rolls

none

3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon stir-fry oil; I used grapeseed oil
3 cups shredded napa cabbage; or green cabbage
3 green onions; and tops chopped
1 can water chestnuts 8 oz's; drained, chopped
1/2 pound crab meat or shrimp; cooked, shelled
2 oz cooked ham; julienne
I used roast pork
10 egg roll, spring roll; wrappers

Combine cornstarch, soy sauce and 2 tablespoons water, stir until
smooth.
Heat wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add oil; coat wok. Add
cabbage and green onions & tops; stir-fry 1 minute. Add water
chestnuts, crab, ham and soy sauce mixture. Cook and stir until
thickened and all is combined.
Remove from heat; cool. Fill and cook egg rolls as directed below.

To fill and cook egg rolls: Place a packed 1/3 cup filling about 2
inches from a corner of a wrapper. Fold corner over filling. Roll
firmly halfway up wrapper, making an elongated roll. Moisten remaining
edges with beaten egg. Fold two side corners over filling. Roll all
the way up. Repeat until all filling is used. Heat vegetable oil, at
least 2 inches deep, in wok or medium saucepan to 350°F Add egg rolls,
a few at a time; fry 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown on all
sides. Remove from oil, drain briefly on paper towel. Cut each roll
into 3 or 4 pieces with serrated knife using a sawing motion or cut
with kitchen shears. Serve with Chinese mustard, sweet
& sour sauce, Duck or Plum sauces for dipping as desired.
