Serve hot with a side of cheese sauce, ketchup, or spicy mayo for dipping. Leftover egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 8–10 minutes to restore crispiness.
Variations:
Spicy Kick: Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
Cheese Swap: Use American, cheddar, or pepper jack cheese for different flavor profiles.
Mushroom Lover's Version: Add sautéed mushrooms to the filling for a heartier bite.
Air-Fried Option: For a lighter version, brush the egg rolls with oil and cook in an air fryer at 380°F for 10–12 minutes.
FAQ:
Q: Can I prepare these egg rolls ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can assemble the egg rolls ahead and store them uncooked in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Fry just before serving for best results.
Q: Can I freeze them?
A: Absolutely. Freeze uncooked egg rolls on a tray, then transfer to a sealed bag. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the cook time.
Q: What’s the best cut of meat to use?
A: Ribeye is ideal due to its tenderness and flavor, but flank steak or sirloin can also be used if thinly sliced.
Q: Can I make these vegetarian?
A: Yes. Substitute the steak with sautéed mushrooms, plant-based protein, or grilled seitan for a satisfying vegetarian version.
