Tips and Variations for Veggie Egg Rolls
One of the things I love about this recipe is how versatile it is. Mix it up and make it your own combination of egg rolls. You can’t go wrong with these vegetable egg rolls.
- Veggies: You can mix and match the vegetables to your liking. Use a Coleslaw premix, or Broccoli slaw, edamame and or green onions, go ahead experiment!
- Heat: Add fresh garlic and ginger for a nice kick
- Sauté: If it’s too crunchy for you, sauté your veggies first to soften them to your liking.
- Chop: Cut your veggies to the same size and keep bite sized for easier eating.
- More: If you sauté your vegetables first, you can add mung bean sprouts, or noodles to add more texture.
- Cover: After you open the egg roll wrappers, cover them with a damp paper towel to keep them moist. They dry out fast.
- Serve: Pick your favorite sauce to go with these, from simple soy sauce to sweet Thai chili sauce.
Bake and Storing Egg Rolls
- Baking: Frying is best but if you’d like to bake these place in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Lightly brush the outsides with vegetable oil. Cook in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes, flipping once half way through. They will be golden but not a deep brown and probably not as crispy but still oh so good!
- Storing: These are truly best eaten fresh from the fryer, once they’ve cooled of course. But if you do have left overs let them cool completely and store with layers of paper towel in between to absorb any moisture. Vegetable Egg rolls will keep about 2-3 days in the fridge. When ready to reheat, place in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees. They’ll be tasty, just not as crispy.

Vegetable Egg Rolls
Ingredients
- vegetable oil for frying, about 1-2 cups
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage about a quarter of a head
- 2 cups shredded green cabbage about a quarter of a head
- 4 ounces sliced mushrooms about 1 cup
- 1 cup sliced red bell pepper about 1 medium pepper
- 1 cup sliced green bell pepper about 1 medium pepper
- 1 cup shredded carrots abut 3 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 12-16 egg roll wraps
- water for sealing the wrappers
Instructions
- Fill a 10 or 12-inch skillet with about ½ an inch of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add 2 cups shredded purple cabbage, 2 cups shredded green cabbage, 4 ounces sliced mushrooms, 1 cup sliced red bell pepper, 1 cup sliced green bell pepper, 1 cup shredded carrots, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil together in a large bowl until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Lay 12-16 egg roll wraps in batches on a clean surface. Spoon ¼-⅓ cup of the vegetable mixture onto the middle of each wrapper. Start by folding up the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Dip your fingers in a small bowl ofwater and brush them along the top edge of the wrapper (it should look like an open envelope), then roll the egg roll up snugly from the bottom, pressing along the top egg to seal it to the wrapper once it's all rolled up.
- Working in batches of 3-4 rolls at a time, fry them for 2-3 minutes, rotating the rolls as they cook until golden and crispy brown on all sides. Remove the rolls from the oil with a slotted spoon or tongs and lay them on a paper towel-lined plate or tray. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
