Are you craving some crispy, flavorful egg rolls but don’t want to go out to get them? Why not make your own homemade frozen egg rolls? Not only is it a fun and rewarding cooking project, but you can also freeze them for later, so you can enjoy them whenever you want. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of making and baking your very own frozen egg rolls.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Before you start making your homemade frozen egg rolls, make sure you have the following ingredients on hand:

• 1 package of egg roll wrappers
• 1 pound of ground pork or chicken
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Oil for frying

Instructions

Now that you have all your ingredients, it’s time to start making your homemade frozen egg rolls. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large skillet, cook the ground pork or chicken over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. Add the cabbage, carrots, onions, and garlic, and cook until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Let the filling cool completely.
2. Wrap the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 1/4 cup of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly, and seal the top corner with a dab of water.
3. Freeze the Egg Rolls: Once all the egg rolls are wrapped, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not touching each other. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and let the egg rolls freeze until they are firm, for about 1-2 hours.
4. Bake the Egg Rolls: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly brush the frozen egg rolls with oil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the egg rolls are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!

Storing Your Homemade Frozen Egg Rolls

If you have any leftover egg rolls or want to make a big batch to freeze for later, here’s how to store them:

• Let the baked egg rolls cool completely.
• Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until they are firm.
• Transfer the frozen egg rolls to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container, and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply reheat the frozen egg rolls in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, until they are heated through.
