Common Questions
- → How do I get the egg rolls extra crispy?
Deep fry the rolls in hot oil (180°C) for 3–4 minutes until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding for even crispiness.
- → Can I bake these egg rolls instead?
Yes, bake at 200°C for 15–18 minutes, turning halfway, for a lighter but still crispy texture.
- → What can I use instead of ham in the filling?
Substitute ham with cooked bacon or omit for a chicken-only version offering subtle smoky notes.
- → Which dips pair well with these rolls?
Try creamy sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or classic ketchup to complement the savory filling.
- → How should I seal the egg rolls to prevent filling leakage?
Brush beaten egg on the wrapper edges to securely seal the rolls before frying or baking.
