Irish Egg Rolls (St. Patrick’s Day Egg Rolls) Recipe

I made a corned beef and cabbage version of an egg roll for St. Patrick’s Day! Unusual egg rolls are one of my trademark go to appetizers. I learned how to make Chinese egg rolls at a wok cooking class over 15 years ago and have been experimenting ever since.

These incredible St. Patrick’s Day Egg Rolls are the perfect snack for your next gathering! A wonderfully tasty and hefty snack that it can stand as a dish on its own.
