Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
- Place 2-3 tbsp of the filling in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of beaten egg.
Step 3: Fry to Perfection
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
