Cooking Notes
Cooking the vegetables first helps remove excess moisture before rolling the egg rolls. Frying in batches keeps the oil temperature steady for more even browning.
Tips for Best Results:
- Let the filling cool slightly before assembling.
- Roll the wrappers tightly to help seal them.
- Fry in batches to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain on paper towels or a wire rack after frying.
