- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the creamy filling onto the center of each egg roll wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling. Tuck in the sides and roll it tightly away from you. Use a little egg white to seal the edge.
Cooking
- In a deep pan, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully place a few egg rolls in the hot oil and fry them in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve them hot with sweet chili sauce or your dip of choice.
Notes
Ensure your oil is at the right temperature before frying for even cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy rolls. Experiment with additional spices or herbs for enhanced flavor.
