Fold the "A" corners over the filling, followed by the "B" corners. Make sure the filling is packed in tight. Next fold over side 1 and 2. Put side 3 over and spread some beaten egg on top to stick down side 4.

Dan's notes: awesome. These turned out just like restaurant egg rolls. Wow. Serving with "sambal manis" is pretty good. This made about 8 egg rolls.
