Notes

  • Baking instructions: Place egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush them or spray them with a little oil, and bake at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Frying instructions: Heat about two inches of peanut oil in a large skillet, wok, or deep fryer to 350 to 375°F. Fry the egg rolls a few at a time, 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • Vegetarian/vegan: Make the filling vegetarian. Substitute finely chopped mushrooms for the ground meat and if you're vegan, brush the edges of the wrapper with water instead of egg to seal the egg roll.
