Notes

Egg Roll Wrappers: Keep your extra egg rolls covered with a damp rag or paper towel to keep them from drying out.

Oil Temperature: Check the oil temperature for best results. You want the oil to be 350 F for a nice crispy exterior while allowing the interior to cook completely, and not letting the outside burn. If you aren't using a thermometer make sure to test one egg roll in the oil, and if it is browning too quickly (less than our suggested time) lower the temperature.

Bake Instead: Bake the egg rolls by brushing the outsides in oil, and baking at 425 F for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg rolls are golden, flipping them half way through baking. They won't be as crispy, but will save you a few calories.

Store Before Serving: Cooking your egg rolls in batches is the best for even cooking. Store the already baked rolls on a pan in an oven pre-heated to 250 F to keep them warm.
