Homemade Egg Rolls
Crispy golden egg rolls filled with seasoned pork and vegetables
By RecipesQueen Kitchen • June 10, 2026
Homemade egg rolls are a revelation — shatteringly crispy shells hiding a savory filling of seasoned pork, cabbage, carrots, and ginger.
The filling should be cooked and cooled before wrapping — wet filling creates soggy egg rolls.
Seal the wrappers with a cornstarch-water slurry. Fry at 350°F for the crispiest results.
