Egg Roll Skins: Use your favorite blintz leaf recipe.
Filling:
Sauté the zucchini, onion, mushrooms, cabbage, and bean sprouts in the cooking spray in a large skillet over medium heat for 4-6 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce, pepper, and sugar to taste.
Take 1 blintz leaf at a time and place it on a flat surface.
Spread about 2 tbsp. of the filling on the leaf in a long-ish mound, leaving a 1/2" border. Fold the top over the filling, then fold both sides over the filling. Roll up like a
jellyroll, seam side down. Seal with a bit of water.
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, coat with the cooking spray, and carefully place the egg rolls in the skillet. Fry until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
Poster's Notes:
P.S. The chicken soup I'd prepared became egg-drop soup in keeping with the "theme" for that evening.

The first time I ever prepared this recipe was not long after I was married. My husband and I had invited friends for Erev Shabbat dinner. I had bought a whole chicken at the butcher's and then didn't know how to cut it up. I asked my husband--the veterinarian--to cut up the chicken in pieces. David agreed to do it, but he insisted that I stay out of the kitchen since I was [am?] too bossy when I was in there cooking. I left the room, and 30 minutes later, David was still busy in the kitchen. I called in to see how things were going, as I was sure it couldn't possibly take that long to cut up a chicken. David told me to keep out, so I did. After another 15 minutes, with my anxiety level over preparing the food and cleaning up in time for Shabbat was rising higher and higher, I sneaked into the kitchen, and ... Sure enough, David had cut up the chicken...but I flipped out at seeing tiny chunks and slivers of chicken, David's response was, "You said you wanted 'pieces,' not 'parts!'" I quickly called my mother, the food maven, and she suggested making chow mein and egg rolls. Hence, the egg roll recipe, and one unusual Shabbat meal.
