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.

I just made these eggrolls and I have a problem, my wife says we're never buying Chinese food again. Thanks they're fantastic
I once made egg rolls and they were the best egg rolls I've ever had. Sadly, they took so much work (at least for a first-timer) that I chose never to make them again. 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!
Best egg roll recipe on here. It is concise, you cover all the mistakes and how to avoid them and I don't have to listen to the history of food to learn how to do this properly. A big thank you.

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.
TYVM, chef. after 30+ years of working in Asia as an Exec Chef/F&B Manager, and serving 1,000s of Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls a week in some of the hotels (with traditional Chinese or Thai Resturant outlets) i have to say, once again you have nailed the technique and your watch points are spot on. BTW: i use the same fryer that you have in thios video. going on 5 years now and it's still going striong.

Seeing what is needed to create these, gives me a new appreciation for one of my favorite chinese dishes.
It’s the msg in the hoisin, oyster, and chicken powder that’s creating the magic. The non-msg chicken powder just uses an off shoot of msg, usually disodium glutamate/hydrolized wheat/coconut/vegetable protein - which is basically the lauded, soy sauce, health food alternative Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or Coconut Aminos. If u grew up eating ranch dressing, lay’s potato chips, and even modern Chick FIl A - uve consumed msg.
Your ingredient suggestions, technique and recipes are really great. Thanks for sharing.
This has always been my favorite type of egg rolls which hold wonderful childhood memory. I cannot wait to try! Thank you for such clear, detailed explanation. 👍
A former co-worker shared her recipe for homemade lumpias with me. 1 part lean ground beef, 1 part grand pork & 1 part those little salad shrimp....with some of the finally chopped green onions all mixed in a bowl. Roll up a bunch of those suckers in the egg wrappers & after deep frying them....dip in sweet & sour sauce.
You've just convinced me that going down the street to my local Chinese restaurant and getting some eggrolls is much easier than this. Thank you for saving me so much time.

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!!!
I’m so excited to give the recipe a try. Thank you.

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!

They are sheer perfection egg rolls, best I've ever eaten. I buy them by the dozen and make them my dinners main event.

Cinnamon is one of the common ingredients in five-spice powder.
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.
Outstanding presentation !!!
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.

I give you my word I'm going to do the spare ribs! I'm not sure when, but almost certainly within the next 6 months!

@@farmageddon I look forward to it :)
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.
Thank you for excellent videos !!!
This is the best instructional food video I think I've ever seen. Thank you so much for this. I think I will have a go at trying egg rolls now.
Can I substitute the veggies for a coleslaw mix? I'm gonna try with spring rolls since I prefer them over egg rolls. I wish we had all those wrapper choices shown in the video, wow!
