Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling chicken egg rolls
1. Cook the chicken:
In a wide, heavy skillet on medium heat, put a dash of oil and, once hot, throw in the ground chicken and begin to stir and break it whilst cooking until it has browned. In the case of already craft boiled shredded chicken egg rolls, it’s just necessary to lightly heat it in the frying pan.
2. Incorporate veggies and seasoning:
Incorporate the cabbage, carrots, and green onions into the skillet.
3. Fold and roll:
Starting with the filling, again take the bottom corner of the wrapper and fold it over. The two edges are now brought towards the center. The lower edge of the wrapper is now rolled, with the top edge being free.
4. Wet the edges: One corner is sealed by moistening the exposed edge with beaten egg followed by pressing it down. Do this trial till the remaining portions of the wrappers and filling are fully used.
Step 2: The chicken egg rolls are then deep fried.
1. Pour the oil:
About 1 inch of vegetable cooking oil should be poured into a heavy frying pan or pot. Allow it to heat over medium-high fire until it reaches 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C for cooking purposes. Alternatively, it can be tested by submerging a small piece of the wrapper, which will sizzle if the oil is ready.
2. Avoid crowding the pan:
Once the egg rolls are added up, be careful not to add too many at once or pack the pan too tightly and overcrowd the pan. On medium heat, fry for 3-4 minutes at medium heat while occasionally turning them until fully golden and crispy.

3. Transferred and cooled:
A cooked egg roll should be placed on a paper towel to absorb any remaining grease.
Optional: The result of successful air frying: nobody wants their egg rolls to be unhealthy.
How to use the air fryer:
Step 1:
Heating the air fryer: The air fryer’s recommended preheating temperature is 375 °F or 190 °C.
Step 2:
Preparations before use: Egg roll before getting frozen can be lightly brushed or sprayed with some oil so that it turns out to be crispy.
Serving Suggestions
Chicken egg rolls are best enjoyed when served hot alongside sweet or sour dipping sauces. Soy, sweet chili, or garlic sauce would be the most common examples of such. You can also sprinkle sesame seeds or green onions to make it more exciting.
Tips for Perfect chicken Egg Rolls
Prepare in Advance: To achieve excellent time management, fill and put the stuffing into the wrapper ahead of time. A refrigerator can be used to store the stuffing until it is required.
Â
Wrappers Should Be Protected: When rolling a large number of egg rolls at once. The thin fabric used for covering should be moist to avoid the egg rolls from drying out.
Â
Frozen Option: If frozen, uncooked egg rolls can be cooked from their frozen form; just increase the time to fry by 1-2 minutes.
