How to Make Crispy Voodoo Egg Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
2. Add the ground pork or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, black pepper, and salt, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the cabbage, carrots, and green onions, then mix in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight crunch.
6. Remove from heat and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

1. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
2. Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the center.
3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides inward like an envelope.
4. Brush the top corner with beaten egg and roll tightly to seal.
5. Repeat for all egg rolls.

Step 3: Fry to Perfection

1. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place egg rolls in the oil, frying in batches to prevent overcrowding.
3. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4: Make the Voodoo Sauce

1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, lime juice, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.
2. Adjust seasoning to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve hot, drizzled with Voodoo Sauce, or offer it as a dipping sauce on the side.
• Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds for extra flavor.
• Pair with a side of Asian slaw or steamed jasmine rice for a complete meal.

Tips for the Best Crispy Egg Rolls

• Use cold filling to prevent wrappers from becoming soggy.
• Seal edges well with beaten egg to avoid leaks while frying.
• Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and crispness.
• Drain on a wire rack instead of paper towels for maximum crunch.
• Air fryer alternative: Spray rolls with oil and air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes! Brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

2. How do I store and reheat leftover egg rolls?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness.

3. Can I make these egg rolls ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble and freeze before frying. When ready, fry directly from frozen at 325°F (160°C) for 5-6 minutes.

4. What’s the best dipping sauce besides Voodoo Sauce?

Try sweet chili sauce, soy sauce with vinegar, or peanut sauce for different flavor twists.
