FAQs
Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time?
Absolutely! The beauty of this recipe is that you can prepare the filling and assemble the egg rolls in advance. Just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to fry them up in the microwave.
How do I prevent the egg rolls from getting soggy?
To ensure maximum crispiness, be sure to tightly roll the egg rolls and avoid overfilling them. Microwaving them in a mug with the garlic butter also helps to create a crispy exterior.
Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying them?
While deep-frying in the microwave is the traditional method, you can definitely bake these egg rolls in the oven if you prefer. Just place them on a baking sheet and cook at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
How do I know when the egg rolls are done?
The egg rolls are ready when they’re golden brown and crispy on the outside. If the filling is still cold in the center, give them an extra 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave.
Can I freeze these egg rolls for later?
Absolutely! Prepare the egg rolls as directed, then place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container or resealable bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, simply microwave straight from the freezer.
