Question:

Are there eggs or other dairy products in the dough that egg rolls are rolled in?

Answer:

Most of the egg roll wrappers found in grocery stores do contain eggs. But if you go to an Asian market (or some ethnic food specialty stores) you should be able to find egg roll wrappers that are egg-free. You may also find rice paper wrappers(used for spring rolls) or gyoza wrappers (used for dumplings) there as well and they are usually egg-free. FYI, on my site at http://www.veganchef.com in the Recipe Archive is a recipe for "Money Bags or Steamed Vegetable Dumplings" and in my e-cookbook "Eat Your Veggies" there is a recipe for vegan "Vegetable Spring Rolls" that may be of interest to you. Also if you are interested in buying pre-made egg rolls, I believe that the veggie egg rolls made by Health of Wealth are totally vegan.
