1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. sriracha
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. sugar
Egg rolls

Egg Rolls
Lay out the egg roll wrapper. Add about 2 Tbsp. of cabbage mix to the center, then 3-4 shrimp, cheese slice and some sauce.
Carefully wrap the egg roll, being careful to keep it tight so the ingredients don't fall out. Dip finger in water, then run it along the top corner of the egg roll, and press to seal the wrapper. Repeat for all egg rolls.
In a skillet, add oil and heat over medium to 350 degrees. Carefully drop egg rolls into the skillet, cooking 4-5 at a time. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then carefully flip over and cook another 2 minutes or until browned. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat for all egg rolls.
Serve on a platter and top with bang bang sauce and green onions. Serve immediately
