Skipping out on draining your veggies results in soggy egg rolls. The vegetables often involved in the filling of egg rolls are cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms.

Cool your rolls on a wire rack instead of a paper towel or plate. Regardless of whether you air fried, deep-fried, or baked your egg rolls, do not let them cool on a paper towel or plate. Instead, use a pair of tongs to set the egg rolls on a raised cooling rack with a baking sheet underneath it.

To ensure crisp egg rolls, always make sure the frying oil gets back up to proper temperature between each batch. Putting a fresh batch in too early can lead to soggy egg rolls. Additionally, don't overcrowd the pan and always dry the egg rolls on wire racks set over paper towels to absorb excess oil.

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.

Gently drop egg rolls into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Once egg rolls are done place them on a paper towel-lined sheet tray. The paper towels will help absorb some of the excess oil and prevent them from getting soggy.

After stir-frying, if there seems to be too much liquid in the filling, drain some of it out. While wrapping the rolls, prop the bowl containing the filling in a tipped position so that the liquid is concentrated at the bottom of the bowl (and not in the filling).

This egg roll recipe calls for a ginger- and garlic-packed filling of pork, cabbage, and carrots. The filling is stuffed in a store-bought egg roll wrapper, which is sealed with a flour paste and fried to crispy perfection in hot peanut oil.

If you want it crispy tomorrow, you have to leave it exposed to air, but then it will get a bit stale and dry out some as well. If you want it to remain as fresh as possible, then you really have to enclose it in something like a plastic bag to retain its moisture.

For best results, warm your oven up to 375 degrees and arrange your frozen egg rolls on top of a wire rack placed on a baking sheet. The rack ensures that the heat reaches the rolls on all sides for the crispiest exterior possible. Bake for 20 minutes, turning each egg roll over halfway through.

We use an egg wash (1 beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water) to seal our egg rolls. However, our vegetarian egg roll can become a vegan egg roll if you use a cornstarch slurry as a sealer (in addition to eggless wrappers).
