Unfortunately, reheating egg rolls won't quite recapture the perfection of freshly fried ones, but you can definitely improve their texture and taste! Here are a few methods to bring back some of that crunch and deliciousness:
The Two-Step Approach:
This method combines the benefits of the microwave and oven or air fryer to get a crispy exterior and warmed filling.
- Microwave for Gentleness: Wrap a paper towel (absorbs moisture) around the egg roll or place it on a trivet (elevates it for even heating). Microwave on medium power (50%) for 30-45 seconds, depending on the number of egg rolls. This warms the filling without making the wrapper soggy.
- Oven or Air Fryer for Crispness: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the egg rolls with a little oil to promote crisping.
- Oven: Bake the egg rolls for 5-7 minutes per side, flipping halfway through.
- Air Fryer: Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, shaking the basket occasionally for even browning.
Alternative Methods:
- Toaster Oven: If you don't have an air fryer, a toaster oven can work similarly. Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and follow the same steps as the oven method above.
- Stovetop (Less Recommended): You can attempt to pan-fry the egg rolls again in a little oil over medium heat. However, this can be tricky and may result in uneven heating or burning.
General Tips:
- Reheat only what you plan to eat as reheating multiple times reduces quality.
- Don't overcrowd the oven, air fryer, or pan – this prevents even heating and crisping.
- For a little extra flavor, you can brush the egg rolls with a mixture of soy sauce and honey before reheating.
By following these tips, you can enjoy your leftover egg rolls with a crispy exterior and a warm, delicious filling!
