   • Start by chopping the green onions, bok choy, water chestnuts, and any additional mushrooms or meat you’re including in your egg rolls using a food processor. This step ensures that all the ingredients are finely chopped and well incorporated into the filling.

2. Mix it Up:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped ingredients with the egg, Accent seasoning, oyster sauce, and soy sauce. If you enjoy a hint of aromatic spice, feel free to add a dash of Chinese 5 spice powder at this stage. Mix everything thoroughly until the flavors are well combined.

3. Wrap and Roll:

   • Now it’s time to assemble your egg rolls! Place a spoonful of the filling mixture onto each egg roll wrapper, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to encase the filling. Be sure not to overfill the wrappers, as this can make them difficult to seal and fry.

4. Deep Fry to Perfection:

   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying them until they turn a beautiful golden brown color. Avoid frying them at too high a temperature, as this can cause the outsides to cook too quickly before the insides are done.

5. Fry and Roll Simultaneously:

   • As you roll each egg roll, immediately transfer it to the hot oil to fry. This ensures that they cook evenly and prevents them from sticking together.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once golden and crispy, remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve hot and crispy with your choice of dipping sauce, whether it’s classic Chinese hot mustard for a kick or sweet and sour sauce for a tangy contrast.
