Ingredients
Scale
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2 tablespoon oil (for cooking)
- Thousand Island dressing (for serving)
Filling
- 500 grams corned beef (approximately 10 slices)
- ½ cup Swiss cheese (or mozzarella cheese, approximately 5 slices)
- ½ cup sauerkraut
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Dice the corned beef into bite-sized pieces. Dice the Swiss cheese or shred it if preferred. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the corned beef, cheese, and sauerkraut, mixing until evenly combined.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling to the center. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold in two opposite corners toward the center, then tightly roll the wrapper to seal the filling inside. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Choose Cooking Method - Air Fryer: Brush both sides of the egg rolls with oil. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Turn halfway if necessary for even browning.
- Choose Cooking Method - Stovetop Frying: Heat oil in a deep pot over medium heat. Fry the egg rolls in small batches for 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning to cook evenly. Drain on paper towels.
- Choose Cooking Method - Oven Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush egg rolls with oil on both sides. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet or on a baking rack. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through and brushing with more oil as needed.
- Cool and Serve: Let egg rolls cool for 3 minutes to prevent burning from hot filling. Serve warm with Thousand Island dressing for dipping and enjoy.
