A simple lunch for a busy day but it's also one of my favorite quick meals.

Vegetarian Kimchi & Tofu Egg Rolls + Homemade Sweet & Sour Sauce
These are not traditional egg rolls but a fun way to make a veg friendly fried appetizer. I got the idea from having left over kimchi/tofu dumpling batter which I later added some extra fillings typical with vegetarian egg rolls like cabbage to make these egg rolls.
