    1. Kosher salt is garbage and tastes like garbage. 2. You absolutely don't need full submersion of the egg roll in hot oil. A half inch in a pan is fine. Taquitos get crispy and aren't made in real Mexican women's homes in deep fryers. They pan fry them. With a puddle of oil. Not a pool.

    Coming from someone who has had lots of experience making egg rolls I have to say that this is a very good instructional because of the attention to detail with clear easy to follow visuals. The only thing that I do differently is use 325 degrees F instead of 350F. It takes a secobds more but you have better control over the browning process. At 350F the skins can get dark fast and overcook. Again, great video! Thanks.

Instead, I will spend my life strictly reminiscing about the unbelievable flavor. I went whole-hog by making Char Sui, and I used carrots, nappa cabbage, green onions and bean sprouts. OMG!

    When I was younger, the main veggie used was bean sprouts. I was surprised and disappointed when I started getting egg rolls with mostly cabbage. It’s not that I hate cabbage, it’s just liked bean sprouts much better. And yes tiny shrimp were used. It seems like cabbage was being used because it was so much cheaper.

    Hi, Wesley! I will definitely be doing a bourbon chicken video in the future! I'm not sure when, but several people have requested it! I've never made the dish, so I'll have to do some research! But I promise I'll drop a video on it eventually! Also, tell your family I say hello!! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

    When it comes to freezing the egg rolls, they crack because the filling is somewhat wet and expands once the outside shell is frozen. The shell will freeze first then when the filling freezes it expands and cracks the wrapper. The best way to overcome this is to par fry the eggrolls at a lower temperature for a shorter period. Try 300-325 just for a few minutes until the surface bubbles and the wrapper cooks. the wrapper at this point should be light brown at which point you take them out of the fryer and let them cool. Freeze them IQF on some parchment paper. After they freeze wrap them individually or in pairs in plastic wrap and then bag in a freezer bag. This will help them to not dry and get freezer burned. Same goes for using the spring roll wrappers as they will crack in the same manner. Its all about cooking the wrapper first then freezing. Another trick I used when freezing potstickers is to put them in the cooler overnight after making them. Get them as cold as possible in the fridge like near the back where other stuff may almost freeze. Get the filling so cold the whole thing is near frozen or super cold. Put them in the freezer for 10 minutes on a timer. Take them into the cooler for 10 minutes then back in then out then in 10 minutes to let the temp equalize in the middle until they are frozen. Temperature management baby!!!

    Yes, and damned Chinese restaurants are getting so cheap now. They have no core center to it. It's just more outside and a tiny bit of stuff inside. Like less than inch in diameter. And, they're not freaking spring rolls. Egg rolls are now the size of spring rolls -- if you know what I mean.

    Dude! Sooo many awesome tips in 10min! (Duck&mustard hacks, potato-ricer!!!!!!, etc.) Greetings from Southern Ontario where I've had Egg Rolls since 1974. Here, we have Vietnamese SprR's (spr.rl wrap/vermicelli/shaved carrot/ground pork served with garlic/fish sauce/vinaigrette dip sauce.) Chinese spring rolls have your cabbage-based "mire-poire", but I've never had a filling as great as yours. Here, Egg Rolls are the Egg roll wrapper filled with Bean Sprouts and the wrapper is flat-folded at both ends like the paper bag you food came in. You bite off one end and pour in packets of plum sauce and hot sauce. Great vid!

    Would love to see a video about making edd drop soup, making it like the chinese restaurant is a more difficult than I expected when I first tried to make it. I couldn't get those nice egg petals, and would just end up with a bunch of shredded egg in broth. It tasted good, but there are definitely some secrets to making it like they do at your local takeout.

    Ing-credibles, (Chinese takeout restaurant close to me) been eating there 45+ years, uses cinnamon as well in their recipe with tiny shrimp inside. They are sheer perfection egg rolls, best I've ever eaten. I buy them by the dozen and make them my dinners main event. The tiny duck sauce packets I ignore and use their homemade red sweet and sour sauce... Its a beautiful thing. 😢 The cinnamon (Probably Chinese five spice) makes them epic, never had better.

    I finally had a chance to make these and other than forgetting to add pepper, the total draining was, I believe, the game changer to my eggrolls. I also had the habit of freezing them undone, but not this time. I made all of them and waited to freeze them once cooled. Can't wait to test the re-frying out of the freezer part. They turned out better than I expected.

    Love your recipes and dedication Jason! Ever been to New England? I've been trying to replicate their egg rolls for years. Particularly most Chinese restaurants in RI/Mass, especially those that have been around for 40-50+ years, all have 1.) A distinctly different flavor from everywhere else in the country -- there's a LOT of celery in them (along with Char Siu). 2.) The "duck sauce" in this region is also unique and AMAZING. It's very dark and sweet. I swear the base is apple sauce, but no one will give up the recipe. You cannot buy it in a store.

    New Englander here. Several years ago, an older gentleman revealed to me that apple sauce is indeed the base for "the best" duck sauce. He said that soy sauce is also added but wouldn't reveal anything else. I met him at a Chinese restaurant that's 30+ years old and I suspect the man had been a chef in his younger years. He knew a lot about cooking. Sadly, I met him once and then never saw him again.

    My mom's eggrolls are nice, but always a bit soggy. She cooks the bejesus out of the filling and drains it, but it's practically mush. Plus, she uses Nappa Cabbage, which is quite tender to begin with compared to standard green cabbage. I like the stronger flavor of Nappa Cabbage, so I might try this recipe with that, maybe not blanch it as long first.
