COOKING

1.  Heat oil in wok or deep fat fryer to 375 degrees and drop in egg Rolls. When skin turns light golden brown, remove from oil and drain. (At this point, in restaurants they refrigerate them and finish the cooking process as Needed.) When cool, drop again into hot oil and fry until golden brown.

Tip

The two−stage deep frying method is actually a professional Chinese chefs Secret. It assures that the inside will be moist and not overcooked (as anything overcooked becomes dry) and the outside will be crisp.
