Mr. Laureth’s ex wife had what was apparently an orgasmically delicious recipe for Korean egg rolls, which she got from the Korean wife of one of his Army officer buddies many years ago. Even the in-laws, who didn’t particularly like her, still melt a little bit when they think of these egg rolls.

The problem is, she didn’t give anyone her recipe, and nobody remembers too much about what, exactly, was in them. They were fried, and had some kind of meat and vegetable matter, and a unique spice that made them different from regular egg rolls. And no one has ever tasted their like again, since she ran off into the night.

If I could, I’d like to provide my family with the delicious taste they remember, and not leave them missing her in any way. I’ve made some test batches of egg rolls just by guesswork and their descriptions, but no dice. So, cooks of Fluther, have you ever had a delicious Korean egg roll? Do you know how to make them, and would you share? Thanks!
