FAQs

Can I use a different type of meat?

Yes! Ground beef, chicken, or even mushrooms for a vegetarian option work well.

How do I prevent the eggrolls from getting soggy?

Make sure the filling is not too wet and drain excess grease before assembling.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the eggrolls and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before frying.

What dipping sauces go best with these?

Cheese sauce, spicy mayo, ranch, or marinara all pair well.

Can I use spring roll wrappers instead of eggroll wrappers?

Yes, but they will be thinner and may not hold as much filling.

Do I need a deep fryer to make these?

No, a heavy-bottomed skillet with 1-2 inches of oil works perfectly.

Can I make these without cheese?

Yes, but the cheese adds creaminess and helps bind the filling together.

How do I make them extra crispy?

Fry at the right temperature (350°F) and avoid overcrowding the pan.

Can I air-fry these eggrolls?

Yes! Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through.
