Egg Roll

The egg roll is a popular Asian-American appetizer found in various cuisines such as Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipino. It consists of minced meat (such as pork), shredded vegetables (like cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts), and various seasonings, all wrapped together in an egg-based dough wrapper and then deep-fried. Despite its name, this appetizer does not typically contain eggs in its filling. In the culinary world, "egg" refers to the egg-based dough wrapper. Crispy on the outside, tender, and savory on the inside, egg rolls are often served with a variety of dipping sauces like sweet and sour or soy sauce. Enjoy them as a side dish, appetizer, or party snack.

Egg Roll FAQ
Egg rolls, though uncomplicated, have their own set of difficulties that people commonly run into while making them. Some folks struggle to get the consistency of the filling right, while others battle to achieve that golden brown, crispy outer layer. The wrapping process can be particularly tricky for beginners, and the rolls might unravel during frying if it's not done properly. The oil temperature can be another stumbling block— too hot, and the rolls burn, too low, and they soak up the oil, becoming greasy. It's not all daunting, however. By using fresh ingredients, proper timing, and achieving the right balance of flavors, egg rolls can be a rewarding dish to master. A key tip to keep in mind: make sure the filling is fully cooked before stuffing, to avoid a soggy bottomed roll. Also, ensure you drain any liquids from the mix to further prevent sogginess.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Egg Roll expire?
An unopened commercial package of egg rolls can last up to 1-2 weeks when refrigerated, and about 6 months in the freezer. Once opened, they're best consumed within 3-4 days if stored in the fridge and about 1 month if frozen. If it’s homemade, you should eat it within 1-2 days when refrigerated or about 1 month in the freezer.
How do you tell if Egg Roll is bad?
To tell if an egg roll has gone bad, check for any change in its color and texture. If the egg roll has turned extremely dark brown or has hardened, it could be a sign that it's past its prime. The most reliable way to tell is by smelling it; if it has a sour or unpleasant smell, it's time to throw it away. If any mold or discoloration has appeared on the egg roll, it is definitely unfit for consumption.
Tips for storing Egg Roll to extend shelf life
• For maximum quality and shelf life, store egg rolls in the refrigerator at or below 40°F. • To optimize your storage, you can stack the egg rolls in an airtight container separated by parchment paper. This prevents them from sticking together. • If you're planning to freeze them, let the egg rolls cool down before putting them into the freezer, and wrap them individually in plastic wrap before placing them in a resealable freezer bag. This will minimize freezer burn. • When reheating, it's best to use an oven or air fryer instead of the microwave to retain the egg roll's crispiness. If you have frozen your egg rolls, thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating.
