Easy Egg Rolls with Korean Dipping Sauce

Have you ever spent tons of time scouring Pinterest to come up with the perfect dinner plan, only to have everything fall apart when it came time to enact said dinner plan?  Yeah, me too.  Last week was one of those weeks where everything was all thrown out of whack and I had to improvise a bit here and there.  So the kids and I ended up combining a couple of things and the results were pretty tasty!
We love Korean Beef at our house.  It's one of our family favorites.  But let's be honest here, it's all about the sauce for us.  So when we pulled out the ingredients to make some egg rolls, we figured some Korean Beef sauce would be great for dipping in!  If you've never made egg rolls before, they're actually pretty simple.  If you can roll a burrito you can roll up an egg roll!  Even my 8 year old was able to make some.

Brush a bit of melted butter or oil on the top of the egg rolls and bake in a 400° oven for 10-12 minutes until golden (or according to the directions on your egg roll wrap package)
