- Place one of the 9 egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface with one of the pointy ends facing you. Add 3 Tablespoons of the filling to the bottom third of the wrapper.
- Take the bottom of the wrapper and roll it over the filling. Push in the sides of the wrapper.
- Dip a fingertip into water and moisten the edges of the exposed wrapper. Bring the outside points of the wrapper towards the center and press the edges together to seal.
- Continue to roll the egg roll tightly to secure. Place the rolled egg roll onto a sheet tray and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat your deep fryer or large pot with deep sides with 3 inches of peanut oil to 375°F. Fry the egg rolls for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on all sides, you will need to fry in batches, do not crowd the fryer.
- Place the fried egg roll onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Then place it on a wire rack set over a sheet tray.
