1. Don’t Overfill
Too much filling = bursting egg rolls. Stick to 2-3 tablespoons.
2. Seal Tightly
Use enough egg wash to seal the final corner. Press firmly. A loose seal = filling leaks out in the oil.
3. Cool the Filling
Hot filling can make wrappers soggy and hard to handle. Let it cool to room temperature before assembling.
4. Keep Wrappers Covered
Egg roll wrappers dry out fast. Keep them under a damp paper towel while you work.
5. Oil Temperature Matters
If oil is too cool, egg rolls absorb grease. Too hot, they burn outside before filling heats through. 350°F is the sweet spot.
6. Don’t Crowd the Pot
Fry in batches. Crowding drops oil temperature and leads to soggy egg rolls.
