Guacamole Egg Rolls

My aunt Helen makes THE BEST egg rolls. Seriously. From the Philippines, she brought over a ridiculously tasty recipe. While she won’t give me the recipe (just yet), I’m continuously trying to figure it out every time I take a bite. A few winters ago, we made shrimp rolls for my family when they came to visit during their annual Christmas trip to NYC.

Egg and spring rolls are a must side dish when enjoying Asian cuisine. Recently, we went to Up Thai right in our neighborhood. Their spring rolls were delicious! And the plum sauce pulled everything together. In an effort to make another incarnation of our shrimp spring roll, we thought we could stuff it with Guacamole and fuse two cultures together, making these guacamole egg rolls. They were delicious!
