- Tightly roll the wrapper until it's half way. Fold in right and left corners. The tighter the roll, the less oily it will be.
- Continue rolling until about 1/4 of the way there, brush corner with egg and seal
- Freeze egg rolls over night as they come out crispier when fried after freezing
- Heat up a pot of oil (canola) and place frozen egg rolls in hot oil to deep fry making a batch of 5-8 at a time. Fry for 10 min until golden brown and floating up to the surface.
