Notes
Tips for Crispy, Leak-Free Egg Rolls
Cool the filling slightly.
Hot filling can weaken wrappers and cause leaks.
Don’t overfill.
Too much filling leads to bursting during frying.
Seal well.
Use egg wash generously to keep seams closed.
Fry at the right temperature.
Oil that’s too cool makes greasy rolls; too hot causes burning.
