If you buy dried tofu sheets, in the refrigerated section of an asian grocery,
those should work.  They're rolled out very thin, and look like pastry.

Hi Andrea,

Since I started low-carbing, I no longer use any kind of wrap.  Here's what
I put on my plate for dinner:

                     * Exported from MasterCook *

                           Unrolled Egg Rolls

Recipe By     :Damsel in dis Dress
Serving Size  : 10    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : low-carb                        side dish
               stir-fry

 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1/2         pound  ground pork
    1/4      teaspoon  salt
    1/2      teaspoon  cornstarch
    1/2      teaspoon  soy sauce
 1               dash  white pepper
 8               cups  water
 2 1/2         pounds  cabbage -- finely shredded
 2        tablespoons  vegetable oil
    1/2         pound  shrimp, cooked -- finely chopped
    1/3           cup  green onions -- finely chopped
    1/2      teaspoon  salt
 1           teaspoon  five-spice powder

Mix pork, 1/4 tsp. salt, cornstarch, soy sauce, and white pepper.  Cover
and refrigerate about 20 minutes.

Heat water to boiling in a stockpot or dutch oven; add cabbage.  Drain;
rinse cabbage in cold water until cold.  Drain thoroughly; remove excess
water by squeezing cabbage.  (A salad spinner works nicely for this, too)

Heat wok until very hot.  Add 2 tbsp. vegetable oil; tilt wok to coat
sides.  Add pork; stir-fry 3 minutes, or until pork is no longer pink. Stir
in cabbage, shrimp, green onions, 1/2 tsp. salt, and five-spice powder.

Serve with hot mustard or sweet and sour sauce, if desired.

New food of the week: Ice water. Lots of it.
(The jalapeño peppers are very hot!)

      Thanks for the tofu sheet suggestion and the "unrolled eggrolls recipe"!
I'll try them both.

I also think one could dump the filling in aburage pouches.
