This easy homemade eggrolls recipe makes the best eggrolls! If you love restaurant quality eggrolls but hate spending too much for them at the Chinese restaurant, you definitely need to try making these! You can find this recipe in volume 1 of our Dining On A Dime Cookbook.
This easy egg rolls recipe makes egg rolls that are so easy and delicious, I occasionally make them as a main dish for dinner and there are never any leftovers! The only danger is if you make too many, you will be tempted to eat them all!
When I first tried this recipe decades ago, my husband and I had no money for eating out and we were so excited at how delicious they were! They were even better than restaurant egg rolls, so I included them as one of my regular go-to recipes when I didn’t feel like planning what to make for dinner.
The ingredients for these homemade egg rolls are cheap at the store, but I was able to use some of my own garden produce for some of them, which made them even less expensive.
