Can I use spring roll wrappers?
No—they’re thinner and made for fresh (unfried) rolls. Use egg roll wrappers (thicker, wheat-based).
Why are my egg rolls greasy?
→ Oil too cool (should be 350°F)
→ Overcrowded pot (lowers temp)
→ Filling too wet
What’s the difference between egg rolls and spring rolls?
Egg rolls are fried, thick-skinned, and hearty. Spring rolls are fresh or lightly fried, thin-skinned, and veggie-forward.
❤️ Final Thought: Crispiness as an Act of Love
Making egg rolls isn’t just cooking—it’s a labor of care. The chopping, the rolling, the frying… it’s how we say, “You’re worth the effort.”
So this weekend, fire up the oil (or oven), gather your family, and fill your home with the scent of garlic, ginger, and golden crunch.
Your future self—dipping a hot, crispy roll into sweet chili sauce—will thank you.
🥢 Because the best meals aren’t just eaten—they’re shared.
