2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides toward the center. Roll tightly toward the top corner, moistening the edges with water to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Fry the Egg Rolls
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the egg rolls halfway.
- Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, seam-side down, and fry for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Transfer the fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4. Serve and Enjoy
- Arrange the egg rolls on a serving platter and serve hot with ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Sprinkle with extra hot sauce or Cajun seasoning if you’re craving even more heat.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a pop of color.
Serving Suggestions
- Pair with a cold beer or sparkling lemonade to balance the spiciness.
- Serve alongside coleslaw or a fresh cucumber salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Make mini versions for bite-sized appetizers at parties or gatherings.
Pro Tips for Success
- Prep Ahead: Assemble the egg rolls ahead of time, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before frying.
- Bake Option: For a healthier alternative, brush the assembled egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Use Leftovers: Repurpose leftover chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken for a quicker filling prep.
- Freeze for Later: Freeze uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the cooking time.
