Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. corn starch
• 2 tbsp. hoisin sauce
• 2 tbsp. soy sauce
• 3 tbsp. corn oil, divided
• 1 lg. onion, thinly sliced, separated into rings
• 1/2 lb. bean sprouts
• 1 (8 oz.) can sliced bamboo shoots, drained, coarsely chopped
• 1 tbsp. minced ginger root (about 1cup)
• 1/2 lb. boneless pork, diced
• 10 egg roll wrappers
• 3 c. corn oil

Directions:

1. In small bowl; stir together corn starch, hoisin sauce and soy sauce until smooth; set aside.

Moisten all edges of wrapper with water. Fold bottom corner over filling and roll halfway up wrapper, making an elongated roll. Fold two side corners inward over the filling. Roll up toward the remaining corner; press gently to seal. Repeat with remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
