Crispy Fried Reuben Egg Rolls

Crispy Fried Reuben Egg Rolls.  Crispy egg rolls stuffed with corned beef, sauerkraut, and melted Swiss cheese.  The egg roll is fried to perfection and when dipped in Thousand Island dressing creates the most perfect flavor combination possible.  This is the app of all apps in my opinion and every time I make it, I am blown away by the flavors!   I have always loved egg rolls, they have always been my favorite part of Chinese takeout.  I love taking foods I love and adding a little twist to them.  When I first started making these Reuben Egg Rolls, I was pan frying them.  While they were delicious, they are not the crisp I was looking for.  That's when I started deep frying them and let me tell you, game changer. There is a time and place for the deep fryer for sure, but I can promise you, this is the time and place. 

Ingredients:

• egg roll wrappers
• cold cut sliced corned beef
• Swiss cheese
• Sauerkraut 
• Thousand Island dressing
• oil for frying

Kitchen Appliances:

• deep fryer

The Steps:

Place an egg roll wrapper on a plate, have one of the corners facing you.  When looking at it, the egg roll wrapper should look like a diamond.  Line up the sliced corned beef, shredded Swiss Cheese and sauerkraut horizontally across the wrapper.  Fold the bottom corner closest to you over the filling.  Fold the left and right corners over that fold and roll the egg roll away from you.  Wet the corn furthest from you and roll the egg roll the rest of the way.  The wet corner will seal the egg roll.  Repeat until all egg rolls are filled. Preheat the oil to 350 degrees.  Fry the egg rolls for about 3-5 minutes and then flip them to fry the other side about 3-5 minutes.  Remove to a paper towel to let some of the oil drip off.  Serve with Thousand Island to dip.

What is the best oil to fry with?

I think peanut oil gives the best flavoring when frying personally.  I have also fried with vegetable oil and this is a great alternative especially if there is a peanut allergy involved! 

How many egg rolls does this recipe make?

It all depends on how much you fill your egg rolls but you should be able to get between 10 and 12 egg rolls! 

What are some other deep fried recipes I could try?

My Deep Fried Crab and Cream Cheese Wontons are one of my favorite deep fried snacks to make!  We love making them on a football Sunday along with these while we have the fryer going!
