Fill the Wrappers
Take one egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides in and roll up tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
