Crispy Beef Reuben Egg Rolls

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 12 sheets egg roll wrappers Standard square wrappers
  • 2 cups cooked corned beef Finely chopped (deli or brisket)
  • 1.5 cups Swiss cheese Shredded
  • 1 cup sauerkraut Rinsed and squeezed very dry
  • 1 quart vegetable oil For frying (can use canola or peanut)
  • 1 small bowl water For sealing wrappers

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, and thoroughly drained sauerkraut. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Place approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  • Dip your finger in the water and run it along the edges of the wrapper to act as an adhesive.
  • Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Fold the left and right corners in toward the center, creating an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper tightly away from you until sealed.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling. Keep rolled egg rolls under a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a dutch oven or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot.
  • Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
  • Serve immediately with Thousand Island or Russian dressing for dipping.
