FAQs – people also ask
What is typically in an egg roll?
Traditional egg rolls include shredded cabbage, carrots, and some form of protein like pork or chicken, all wrapped in a flour-based wrapper and fried.
Can egg rolls be made in advance?
Yes! You can assemble and refrigerate or freeze them before frying. Just be sure to seal them tightly and separate with parchment to prevent sticking.
What is the best way to keep egg rolls crispy?
Drain on paper towels immediately after frying and keep warm in an oven at 200°F if you’re not serving them right away.
Are egg rolls Chinese or American?

Can I bake egg rolls instead of frying them?
Absolutely. Brush them with oil and bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
Can you use spring roll wrappers instead?
You can, but expect a thinner, crispier texture. Spring rolls use rice-based wrappers versus the flour-based ones in egg rolls.
How do you seal egg rolls without egg wash?
Water works perfectly—just wet the edges of the wrapper before rolling to seal them tight.

Yes! Use tofu, mushrooms, or beans, and swap out the wrappers for vegan-friendly versions.
