This is a Weight Watchers recipe and I personlly thought the points values for the pork were kind of high for what you get. Like I said before, I prefer large volume and low points. The egg rolls, on the other hand, were awesome! 1 point per egg roll!! I had to go to a lot of stores to find egg roll wrappers. Nick finally found spring roll wrappers at an Asian market in Ann Arbor. I don't think they are the same thing but they worked just fine. It also made me start brainstorming that you can use the wrappers and stuff just about anything inside.....spring roll burritos, anyone?? Stay tuned for future posts!
