Step 2: Wrap the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides to enclose the filling.
- Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top, keeping it firm but not overly tight.
- Seal the edge by brushing it with a little beaten egg to ensure it stays closed during frying.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350Β°F (175Β°C). The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the egg rolls.
- Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or a spicy chili sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy the crispy, flavorful bites of your homemade egg rolls!
Tips for Perfect Egg Rolls
- Avoid overfilling to prevent the wrappers from bursting while frying.
- Seal properly to prevent oil from seeping in.
- Fry in batches to maintain a consistent oil temperature.
- Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at 350Β°F (175Β°C) for even cooking.
Now that you know how to make crispy golden-brown egg rolls at home, it’s time to impress your friends and family with this delicious treat. Enjoy!
