Voodoo Egg Rolls

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer the fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Arrange the egg rolls on a serving platter and serve hot with ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
  2. Sprinkle with extra hot sauce or Cajun seasoning if you’re craving even more heat.
  3. 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.
