Mix sauce with macaroni and add salt and pepper.
Add 2 tablespoons macaroni to a wonton wrapper. Tuck in each side, then roll up, sealing shut with some egg wash.
Heat several inches of oil in a Dutch oven until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally to brown evenly, until golden brown and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes.
Place egg rolls on paper towels and sprinkle with salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Cut egg rolls in half and garnish with chives and additional smoked paprika.
