Homemade Egg Rolls Recipe

Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep pot or fryer until it’s about 2 inches deep. Heat to 350°F (175°C).
Fry in batches: Carefully place 2–3 egg rolls in the hot oil using tongs. Don’t overcrowd the pot.
Cook until golden: Fry each batch for about 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain the egg rolls: Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your homemade egg rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauces like sweet and sour, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, or plum sauce. They make a fantastic appetizer, snack, or even a light meal when served with rice or salad.

Tips for Success:

Cool filling completely before wrapping to avoid soggy wrappers.
Use egg roll wrappers, not spring roll wrappers—they’re thicker and made for frying.
Seal well to prevent them from opening in the oil.
Test the oil temperature with a small piece of wrapper—it should sizzle immediately.
