Recipes Tips
If you want to make the best egg roll wraps at home, here are some tips to keep in mind:
1. Don’t overfill the egg rolls. If you overfill the egg rolls, they will be difficult to roll and will not cook evenly.
2. Drain excess water from the filling. Too much moisture in the filling can make the egg rolls soggy.
3. Use a deep skillet or wok. This will allow you to fry the egg rolls evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
