Easy Homemade Egg Rolls Recipe

Eggrolls

This easy homemade egg rolls recipe makes the best egg rolls! If you love restaurant quality eggrolls but hate spending too much for them at the Chinese restaurant, you definitely need to try making these! You can find this recipe in volume 1 of our Dining On A Dime Cookbook.

This easy homemade eggrolls recipe makes the best eggrolls! Eggrolls are easy to make and a lot less expensive than buying them at the restaurant!

This easy egg rolls recipe makes egg rolls that are so easy and delicious, I occasionally make them as a main dish for dinner and there are never any leftovers! The only danger is if you make too many, you will be tempted to eat them all!

When I first tried this recipe decades ago, my husband and I had no money for eating out and we were so excited at how delicious they were! They were even better than restaurant egg rolls, so I included them as one of my regular go-to recipes when I didn’t feel like planning what to make for dinner.

The ingredients for these homemade egg rolls are cheap at the store, but I was able to use some of my own garden produce for some of them, which made them even less expensive.

    These are delicious and very easy to make. I serve them with the Sweet and Sour Sauce on page 315 of DOAD.The filling can be made ahead and make the egg rolls thee next day. Oh …and I *hear they are also good cold straight from the fridge. Just sayin’… ;-)

    I am making these soon and have a question. Would you recommend using fresh grated ginger or dry ground from a jar?
    Thanks!

    Are you supposed to use fresh ginger or dry ginger?

      We use dry or powdered because it is the easiest but you can use either.

    Can you use bean sprouts instead of cabbage?

      I have never used bean sprouts but I don’t know why you couldn’t

    If you freeze the egg rolls is it before or after they are fried?

    Reply

      You can do either or but we prefer to freeze them before you fry them because they are “hot off the presses” sort of speak if you do.

    Is there such a thing as gluten-free egg roll wrappers? If so, where can they be found?

      Before wraps were available I made my own by painting the batter on a hot griddle. I used a kitchen grade 2″ wide paint brush. Find a gluten free batter and give it a try.

    I made these tonight and we really enjoyed them! Very easy and so nice to use the packaged slaw mix. Smart! Next time, I think I’ll add some chopped water chestnuts and some bean sprouts. I can’t figure out how to add a pic!

    Thanks for the recipe!
