Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 pieces egg roll wrappers The canvas for your savory filling.
  • 1 cup cooked corned beef, shredded The star of this dish, offering rich flavor.
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained Brings crunch and acidity.
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded Adds a creamy, nutty flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing Plus extra for dipping and to tie flavors together.
  • Oil for frying Needed for frying until golden perfection.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you.
  3. Place a small amount of shredded corned beef, drained sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss cheese in the center of the wrapper. Drizzle a small amount of Thousand Island dressing over the filling.
  4. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly ensuring the filling is enclosed, and moisten the edges with water to seal.
Cooking
  1. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil a few at a time and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with extra Thousand Island dressing for dipping.

Notes

Don't overfill egg rolls to prevent spillage during frying. Keep wrappers moist with a damp cloth if preparing ahead. Fry in small batches for even cooking. Optional spices include garlic powder or black pepper. Consider substituting corned beef with pastrami for a different flavor.
