How to Make Irish Egg Rolls?

St. Paddy’s Day just got better! And actually you might want these all year long!

Here’s how to make these yummy Irish eggrolls!

1. Lay out a single egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface.
2. Place a filling mixture in the center of each wrap.
3. Roll and wet the edges to seal.
4. Fry a few egg rolls at a time until golden brown.
5. Remove and set on paper towels to drain.

Pro Tips:

• Heat oil in deep fryer before you start frying.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent soggy egg rolls.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from the oil.
• You can cook your corned beef two ways: Crock Pot and Corned Beef and Instant Pot Corned Beef. 

 

 

Can You Make Irish Egg Rolls Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can prepare Egg Rolls ahead of time!

Just store them in the fridge until you’re ready to fry.

Don’t fry them first if you know you want them later.

Then you have to deal with making sure they don’t get over cooked.

And also making sure they aren’t soggy.

It’s easier if you know you aren’t eating them yet, just to fry them up later.

 

 

How to Store Irish Egg Rolls?

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge.

They will stay fresh for up to 2 days.

I recommend reheating in the oven or an air fryer.

I love them crispy! 

And it’s always a little disappointing when the shells are soft.

Just careful not to burn them. They’re already cooked so just warm them up.

 

 

Can You Freeze Irish Egg Rolls?

Yes, you can freeze Irish Egg Rolls.

Hello little bag of yummy egg rolls in your freezer!

Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid.

Then transfer to a freezer-safe bag.

They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Reheat in the oven or air fryer until crispy and warm.

And don’t forget to label the bag! Unless you know you won’t forget them.

But anytime I say I won’t forget something I do.

So just label them okay?

 

 

Do You Bake or Fry Irish Egg Rolls?

Traditional Irish Egg Rolls are deep-fried until golden brown and crispy.

And they are seriously heavenly!

But you can also bake them in the oven.

Or cook them in an air fryer. That works too.

The benefits to those are you don’t have to deal with hot oil.

But then you also don’t get that fried in oil taste. Yum!

So I guess just pick which option you want the most and go for it.

 

 

Are Irish Egg Rolls Healthy?

Corned beef and cabbage egg rolls are a delicious treat! Like.. ultra delicious.

But they should still be enjoyed in moderation.

You can bake or air fry them if you don’t want the oil from deep frying.

Though honestly… they’ve got veggies and meat… so they can’t be all bad!

When to Serve Irish Egg Rolls?

Irish Egg Rolls are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day parties!

They’re also great for game day snacks, or any other gathering or party!

They’re a great way to use up leftover corned beef after a holiday meal.

Goodness! Even just a weeknight dinner! Serve them whenever the mood strikes I guess!

 

 

What to Serve with Irish Egg Rolls?

Serve these egg rolls with dipping sauces! 

Russian dressing, Thousand Island Dressing, or Dijon mustard would all be good!

They also pair well with a light salad or roasted vegetables.
