Egg roll wrappers
Like I said, since we usually call egg rolls “Chun Juan”, aka spring rolls, the wrappers’ package usually uses words such as “Spring Rolls Shells” or “Spring Roll Pastry”. They are super thin sheets that are made from wheat flour and they are cooked. They are quite thin but with a texture that is easy to handle, so don’t worry about tearing them apart in the process of wrapping the rolls. When shopping for the wrappers, make sure you get the kind made from “wheat flour”. Make sure you don’t g...
Shiitake mushroom
Dried shiitake mushrooms add umami flavor and a tender texture to the egg rolls. I consider them very important for this recipe. To use the dried mushrooms, you need to rehydrate them first, until they turn tender. Then slice them into very thin pieces before adding to the filling. You can find shiitake mushrooms in most of the Asian markets or on Amazon.
Bamboo shoots
Bamboo shoots add a fun crunchy texture to the filling. If you have access to Chinese or other Asian markets, I highly recommend you get a whole bamboo shoot if possible. It’s fresher and has a better texture. Alternatively, you can use canned shoots. You can find them in the Asian section of a big supermarket. Or you can get them on Amazon.

Can I bake or air fry the chicken egg rolls?
I frequently receive questions on how to avoid having to deep fry the egg rolls. Unfortunately, after many tries, I still couldn’t find a great way to create the best texture without deep frying. I have tried baking and cooking the egg rolls in the air fryer many times, with different temperature settings. The issue is, the rolls won’t be browned evenly. The edges often brown very quickly with the main part of the roll still undercooked. Baking the egg rolls also over-cooks the filling, resul...
You can store the chicken egg rolls before frying them. However, I prefer to fry all of them before storing them. Assuming you will be serving the egg rolls once you wrap them, it’s easier to fry all of them and reheat them in the oven later on. These egg rolls freeze and reheat very well. So if you make a big batch, you can freeze them in small ba...
