eggrolls

Do make sure to get real eggroll wrappers for this. Tortillas really don't work very well. They split in several layers during frying, which tends to insulate the content of the eggroll so it takes a very long time to heat them through, enough time sometimes to burn the tortilla to carbon.

Also do NOT thaw the eggrolls before deep-frying them. The wrapper will get soggy and will likely tear while handling.

INGREDIENTS

This is what you need for 10 servings:

10 or 20 eggroll wrappers.
Double up with slight overlap to make them longer
2-4 cups tjap tjoy as above

Pic12-14: make eggrolls

Dust a working surface with flour.
Lay out egg wrapper.
If you use two, overlap and dab with water to make the edges stick, to avoid separation.

Pic15-17: deep-fry

Preheat the deep-fryer to 350 ºF.
Deep-fry until the shell is very crisp 6-12 minutes, depending on the size of the eggroll.
Making a small hole in the shell may speed up the process, but the content will be greasier.
Serve with your favorite sauce.
Enjoy.
