Instructions
How to Make Crispy Flavorful Egg Rolls
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and diced onion for 5-7 minutes until they become tender and vibrant.
- Carefully transfer the filling mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This prevents the wrappers from tearing and keeps your egg rolls intact when you start rolling.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling at the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and gently roll, tucking in the sides as you go to form a secure package.
- Heat oil in a pot to 350°F, ensuring it’s hot enough for frying. Carefully add the rolled egg rolls to the oil, frying in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or any dip you love!
Notes
Garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor. Follow storage recommendations to keep leftovers crispy.
