Vegetable Egg Rolls are a widely enjoyed take out appetizer that can be easily executed in your own kitchen.

This vegetarian version requires only a few basic ingredients, but by the time all is said and done, the results are quite gratifying and soon enough you will find yourself regretting you did not make more of them to begin with. The sesame ginger dipping sauce recipe featured here really complements them and enhances their flavor.

When it comes to what could constitute a great filling or dipping sauce as far as egg rolls, the possibilities are quite ample. Pork, chicken or tofu are wonderful protein additions for the rolls while sweet and sour, spicy peanut or sweet chili would make great dipping sauce choices.

I hope you have fun making these vegetable egg rolls ! Enjoy!
