Ingredients

Gather all your ingredients before you start assembling the egg rolls.

Ingredients for Crispy Vegetable Egg Rolls

1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/2 cup sliced green onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
12 egg roll wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying

Make sure to keep the egg roll wrappers covered to prevent them from drying out.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your crispy vegetable egg rolls.

Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Take one egg roll wrapper and place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a little water.

Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Serve

Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Perfectly Crispy Egg Rolls

To achieve that perfect crispy texture, make sure your oil is hot enough before frying. If the oil is too cool, the egg rolls will absorb more oil and become greasy instead of crispy. A good temperature is around 350°F (175°C).

Don’t overcrowd the frying pan. Fry the egg rolls in batches to ensure even cooking and to maintain the oil temperature. This will result in a beautifully golden-brown exterior that’s irresistibly crunchy.

Delicious Dipping Sauce Ideas

Crispy Vegetable Egg Rolls can be enjoyed on their own, but a tasty dipping sauce elevates the experience. Traditional sweet and sour sauce is a popular choice, providing a perfect balance of sweetness and tang.

For a more savory option, consider a soy sauce-based dip with a hint of sesame oil. Adding minced garlic or ginger can give it an extra kick. Alternatively, a spicy chili sauce can add a delightful heat that pairs wonderfully with the crispy rolls.

Storage and Reheating Instructions

If you have leftover egg rolls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness.

For frozen egg rolls, you can cook them directly from the freezer, frying for a few extra minutes until heated through. This way, you can enjoy that fresh, crispy taste anytime you like!
