My Americanized Lumpia; Spring Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 lb ground beef
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
    3 green onions, chopped
    1/8 cup red onion, minced
    1 lb fresh mushrooms, any kind you feel like
    2 cups cabbage, shredded and chopped
    1 large carrot, grated
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley leaves, chopped
    1/4 teaspoon season salt
    1/8 teaspoon white pepper
    1 (16 ounce) package egg roll wraps
    1 egg, beaten (even though just water works fine to seal the wraps)
    vegetable oil, for frying
Preparation
    Brown ground beef in a large skillet on medium high.
    Add butter into skillet with ground beef tune up stovetop to high heat.
    Add the garlic, ginger, and green onions, red onions and cook for 1 minute.
    Add the mushrooms and cook for another minute.
    Add the cabbage and carrot then cook until the cabbage starts to wilt, about 2 minutes.
    Stir in the soy sauce; toss to coat the mixture.
    Remove from the heat and mix in cilantro and parsley; season to taste with season salt and white pepper.
    The filling should be moist but not wet. Remove from heat and allow to cool and drain in a colander.
    Lay a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface on an angle so it looks like a diamond; Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper and fold up to enclose the filling. Fold in the 2 sides. Paint the top seam of the wrapper with beaten egg but water does work instead of using egg if desired. Continue rolling up to form a tight cylinder.
    Pour about 1-inch of oil in a skillet or wok and heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the spring rolls, turning to cook all sides, until browned, about 2 minutes or cook in a deep fryer for about a 1.5 minutes until golden brown.
    Drain on paper towels and serve warm with soy sauce and goes great with egg drop soup.
