- Use wonton wrappers for a crispy egg roll. Phyllo dough will give you a flakier egg roll.
- To prevent the egg rolls from sticking to the pan, make sure the oil is hot before adding them.
- Cook the egg rolls in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan.
- Serve the egg rolls with a dipping sauce, such as the creamy cilantro dipping sauce.
- For a vegetarian version of the egg rolls, omit the ground beef and add more vegetables.
- To make the egg rolls ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them. When you're ready to cook them, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then fry them.
