What to Dip Egg Rolls In
The Sesame Sauce below is a favorite with bright, salty and tangy flavors. Add a little sriracha for a spicy kick if you’d like! Egg rolls can be baked, fried, or air fried. We find deep frying to give the crispiest crust but air frying is a close second. Egg rolls don’t get quite as crispy in the oven but they still taste amazing. If baking or air frying be sure to generously oil the outside of the egg roll wrapper.
Make Ahead, Storage and Reheating
Keep leftover egg rolls covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven or in the air fryer, or if there’s leftover filling, prepare it in a bowl in this fun recipe for egg roll in a bowl. Freeze leftover egg rolls in a zippered bag for up to 4 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating. Like most recipes with a crispy crust, these homemade egg rolls are best eaten right away when fried crisp.
