Preparation

  2. Mix well until all ingredients are harmoniously combined.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  5. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly to seal. Use a dab of water on your finger to seal the top corner of the wrapper.
  6. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Cooking
  1. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot to about 350°F (175°C).
  2. Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil in small batches, avoiding overcrowding.
  3. Fry the egg rolls for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally so they can achieve a perfect golden brown and crispy exterior.
  4. Once done, remove them from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
Serving
  1. Serve your scrumptious Voodoo Egg Rolls hot, accompanied by sweet and sour sauce or mustard for dipping.

These egg rolls can be frozen before frying. Reheat by baking at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes until heated through.
