Directions

Step 1: Cook Filling

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add coleslaw mix and sauté until just tender, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 2: Add Chicken

Stir in shredded chicken and cook another 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let mixture cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Place 1/4 to 1/3 cup of filling horizontally across the center. Fold in the sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and seal the tip with a little water.

Step 4: Fry

Heat 3/4 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet to 350–375°F. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown on all sides.

Step 5: Serve

Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Tips & Variations

• Make Ahead: Assemble the rolls and freeze uncooked for up to 1 month. Fry straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

• Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with tofu or extra veggies.

• Crispier Rolls: Double-fry for extra crunch or use an air fryer at 375°F for 10–12 minutes.

• Dipping Sauce Ideas: Sweet chili, soy-ginger, or spicy mayo complement these egg rolls perfectly.

Storage & Reheating

• Store cooked egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

• Reheat in an oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes or in an air fryer for 5–6 minutes to restore crispiness.
