Step 3: Fry Until Golden
Pour oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1 inch and heat over medium-high heat. Carefully place the rolls in the hot oil in batches, turning occasionally. Fry until all sides are golden brown and crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side.
Step 4: Drain and Serve
Remove the cooked rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as ranch, sweet chili, or barbecue.
Variations & Tips
Baking Option: For a lighter version, brush the rolls with oil and bake at 400°F for about 18–20 minutes until crisp.
Cheesy Filling: Add shredded cheese to the chicken mixture before wrapping for extra richness.
Vegetarian Swap: Replace chicken with extra cabbage, carrots, and firm tofu or mushrooms. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Spice It Up: Use Cajun seasoning or Sriracha sauce in the filling for bold flavor.
