Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. (5-8 minutes)
12 Step

13 Step
Recipe View
Arrange the egg rolls on a serving plate and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the top. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. (2 minutes)
For extra crispy egg rolls, double-fry them! After the initial fry, let them cool slightly, then fry them again for 1-2 minutes.
Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables like bean sprouts, water chestnuts, or mushrooms.
Egg rolls can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying. Be sure to cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground pork with crumbled tofu or a plant-based ground meat alternative.
