This recipe for Easy Homemade Egg Rolls is simple to make. You can fill them with veggies and even add your favorite protein as well. Read on to learn how to make these as well.

If y'all know me at all, then you know I love to make my own restaurant versions of food at home.

I am a home cook with a love for all things unique and delicious.

That is why our family prefers to make our Chinese takeout food at home instead of getting it at the restaurant. Some of my most popular recipes have been my Mongolian Ground Beef Noodles, homemade sweet and sour sauce, and of course -- making your own homemade eel sauce for sushi night.

I will be the first to admit - I am not a fan of egg rolls at the Chinese restaurant. I am not sure what the cooks have put in them, but to me, they taste horrible.

When my friend Faithie posted that she made homemade egg rolls, it intrigued me and I wanted to try as well.

While I did use Faithie's recipe as the base for this recipe, I did switch a few things up to make it my own!

How to Make Easy Homemade Egg Rolls

These egg rolls are all vegetables because I am not a fan of meat in my egg rolls. These flavors infuse so well together!

The art of making these egg rolls is in the process of rolling and sealing them up correctly.

Start by laying out one of your egg roll wrappers. We add in about ¼ cup of mixture. You can add in more or less -- it's totally up to you, but the fuller you make them, the better they fry up.

Lay the wrapper facing you in a diagonal shape. add your mixture in the middle and then fold the first diamond edge up over the mixture, almost completely covering it.

Now, you are going to fold in both side diamonds to create what looks like an envelope. From this point, you are going to roll towards the last point making sure to seal everything in.

If you can see some of your mixture sticking out, then you did not roll it right and need to start over.

Once you get it all wrapped up, take water and place on the envelope portion of your egg roll and wet it gently. This will seal your egg roll completely once you finish the final rolling.

Now you are ready to fry them! Once they are done, you will have a plate full of goodness that looks like this --

The longer you let them toast in the oil, the crispier these turn out.

Then you can serve them with my homemade sweet and sour sauce.

There is nothing like making your favorite Chinese dishes at home. Some of our favorites are --

• Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
• Homemade Sushi (complete with Eel Sauce)
• Fried Cream Cheese Wontons
