Egg rolls are a staple of Chinese-American cuisine that began appearing on menus in the early 20th century. A favorite for takeout joints, restaurants, and home cooks alike, sturdy egg roll wrappers are perfect for housing combinations of seafood, pork, cabbage, bean sprouts, and more. If you want to stray from traditional Asian flavors, you can make unique recipes like Cheeseburger Egg Rolls or Jalapeño Bacon Cheese Egg Rolls, or even satisfy your sweet tooth by cooking up a dessert egg roll. No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to enjoy a crunchy treat.
