They won't be terrific........why can't you roll up the egg rolls and be frying some as you are rolling others?....and eat them as you cook them....

My mom tried that once years and years ago and the juice from the cabbage filling seeped through the wrappers and they stuck to the pan and ripped when she tried to pick them up to fry them. You could make up the filling one night then roll and fry them the next night. They reheat very well in the oven.

I'll try making the filling ahead. Was wondering about making a big batch and saving some too, we only will eat a few, just the two of us. My experience with leftover fried egg rolls hasn't been very good, but they weren't very good to begin with . . .

Air fryers are good for this!

fry up your egg rolls, cut them into rounds, and then use like croutons ...

I made a big batch and froze, uncooked. Fry them as needed, unthawed. Not quite as good as freshly made & cooked but still darned good.

Probably too late for this week but I like this recipe idea, HERE

Like cilantro's idea to make ahead a batch, then freeze. This recipe does a bake-ahead, then freeze. Similar idea as pot-stickers.

I wonder if I could flash freeze them and then flash fry them? Perhaps I should just bake anyway, because it will be kind of a waste of oil for me to fry them. I won't use the oil again for ages and ages. I deep fry maybe once every two years.

Funny-ish story. When I first made egg rolls, I used corn oil. Did not realize that corn oil foams at high temps. Dropped the egg rolls in and they disappeared into the foam. Didn't have one of those cools slotted spoons for fishing them out, only a tongs. Lesson learned! I survived though, without permanent scars or burning down the house. Now I use peanut oil for deep frying.

I don't deep fry often, either. What I do is strain then filter the oil (use paper coffee filters fitted into a funnel), refrigerate and use the oil for stir fries, when I pan fry fish, etc.

I always freeze and fry later. I don't notice any degradation in flavor. Guests sure seem to like them still ;)
