Serving:

• Drain the fried egg rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Notes

Mixing the egg batter with a bit of water helps increase the volume of the batter despite using a small quantity of eggs. However, there’s a risk of the batter becoming too dry, which can make it difficult for the egg to stick onto the skewers.

Adding chicken broth powder enhances the savory taste of the egg rolls. Stir to your preference for a richer flavor profile.

A sufficient amount of hot oil is the main key to making egg rolls. This allows the eggs to expand properly and results in a more flavorful taste.

When pouring the egg batter, do it from a slightly distant range to allow the batter to expand. Once the batter begins to bubble, promptly insert the skewers and roll until finished. Ensure to press the edges of the pan for compact egg rolls and reduced oil.

To prevent excessive oil absorption in the egg rolls, it’s better to compact them first by gently tapping them along the edges of the pan before the draining process.
