Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground pork over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

- Stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the center of an egg roll wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides in, and roll tightly. Use a dab of water to seal the edge of the wrapper.
