Egg Roll Recipe

Once you know how to make homemade egg rolls, I promise you will want to make them all of the time. They are fluffy and crispy, and the pork filling with slaw is irresistibly delicious!

Pork egg rolls make a perfect appetizer for a party, side dish, or even a light dinner or lunch with some dipping sauce on the side. Because these are air fryer egg rolls, you won't even have to worry about clean-up.

If you don't have an air fryer, you can make these pork egg rolls by pan-frying them or baking them in the oven - I will show you how to prepare them all three ways!

Pork Egg Roll Recipe FAQs

Are pork egg rolls gluten-free?

Pork egg rolls are typically wrapped in egg roll wrappers that contain gluten. However, gluten-free wonton wrappers may be used to make gluten-free egg rolls. Make sure to also use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari in place of regular soy sauce if preparing gluten-free egg rolls.

What's the difference between a spring roll and an egg roll?

Egg rolls are wrapped in a thick, crispy wrapper that has been dipped in eggs before frying. Spring rolls use rice or flour wrappers that are thinner than egg roll wrappers, and no egg. Their fillings typically vary from one another, as well, but the biggest difference is in their wrappers.

What kind of pork goes in egg rolls?

Use ground pork for quick and easy egg rolls as in these air fryer egg rolls, or chopped Chinese roast pork (char siu) for more traditional pork egg rolls.

How to Make Egg Rolls (Pan-Frying)

  1. Follow the above steps up to step 7 to prepare your filling and wrap the egg rolls.
  2. When ready to fry, add enough oil to a deep pan to cover the egg rolls halfway and heat over medium-high heat.
  3. Once hot, add the egg rolls and pan-fry until crispy and golden-brown on all sides, about 7 minutes.
  4. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels or a baking rack over paper towels.

You can also deep-fry egg rolls by adding 2-3 inches of oil to a deep pot, then heating it to high heat (350-375°F). Fry until golden brown and crispy all over. Carefully remove with tongs and drain on paper towels or a baking rack.

Baking Egg Rolls

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Follow the above steps up to step 7 to prepare the egg roll filling and wrap the egg rolls.
  3. Once oven is heated and egg rolls are prepared, place them seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Brush the egg rolls with a generous amount of cooking oil all over.
  5. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy all over. Flip halfway through.

Egg Rolls Recipe Tips

  • You can find egg roll wrappers in the produce section near bottled salad dressings and sauces in most grocery stores.
  • Be sure not to overcrowd your air fryer basket or pan when frying. Give the egg rolls enough room to cook evenly. Cook in batches if needed.

Make-Ahead Egg Rolls

To make pork egg rolls ahead of time, pre-roll them, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Place in an airtight container with a damp rag over the top to prevent them from becoming soggy overnight.

Freezing Egg Rolls

  1. You can freeze homemade egg rolls by preparing the filling and sealing them, then adding them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Leaving them uncooked, add them to the freezer until frozen solid. When frozen, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and label with the date. Store for 1-2 months.

Reheating Egg Rolls

  • You can reheat egg rolls in the air fryer by spraying them with oil on both sides, then frying at 350°F for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Reheat egg rolls on the stove in a pan over medium heat until heated through.
  • Or, reheat egg rolls in the microwave. Place a damp paper towel in the microwave with the egg rolls to keep them crisp.
