Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Set aside to cool. Separate egg roll wrappers into single sheets. Cover the wrappers with a damp dish towel to keep them from drying.
Take 2 tablespoonfuls of the mixture and wrap in egg roll wrapper. Repeat procedure for the rest of the filling and wrappers. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, fry egg rolls in enough oil until browned on both sides.
Drain in a colander. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
