- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt and pepper

Instructions
- In a pan, add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is fully cooked and browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the shredded carrots to the meat mixture and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place about 1 ½ tablespoons of the meat mixture on the lower part of the wrapper.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper in, then roll the egg roll up tightly over the filling. Seal the edge with a little water and set aside.
