Recipe Questions
- → What is the best way to achieve crispy egg rolls?
Deep frying at 180°C (350°F) until golden ensures a crunchy shell, but baking at 200°C can also yield a crisp texture with less oil.
- → Can I substitute ingredients in the filling?
Yes, ham can be replaced with cooked bacon or omitted for a purely chicken filling without affecting the texture much.
- → How should I store leftover egg rolls?
Store cooled egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in an oven or air fryer for best crispiness.
- → What dipping sauces pair well with these egg rolls?
Creamy sauces like ranch or garlic mayo, as well as ketchup or sweet chili sauce, complement the savory filling nicely.
- → Are these egg rolls suitable for vegetarians?
No, they contain chicken and ham, both meat ingredients, making them unsuitable for vegetarian diets.
