An egg roll is a fried appetizer that's found on countless Chinese-American restaurant menus. It consists of a thick, crispy wheat flour skin filled with shredded cabbage, pork, and other ingredients. Egg rolls are fried in hot oil, served warm, and usually dipped in duck sauce or soy sauce.

The filling for these egg rolls is ground pork, shredded cabbage, carrots and some seasonings like garlic, ginger and sesame oil. If you're not a pork fan, you can substitute ground chicken.

Do not add any sesame oil, soy sauce, or vegetable oil to your egg rolls before cooking them. This may feel counterintuitive, but egg roll wrappers have plenty of oil built into them to begin with and adding more can lead to soggy egg rolls. Tip: This can also be relevant for homemade egg rolls.

Peanut oil is great for frying egg rolls as it has a high smoking point and provides a nutty flavor. If you don't have it on hand, you can use canola or corn oil. Do not use oils like sesame oil or olive oil, as they are not good candidates for deep-frying due to their low smoking point.

Avoid Excess Moisture in the filling

In direct contrast to the wrappers, which you want to keep moist – excess water in your Egg Roll filling is your WORST ENEMY! Any extra water will result in your Egg Rolls being soggy and dark spots forming on your Egg Roll wrappers.
