Avocado Egg Rolls With Sweet Chili Sauce

Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 25 mins
Yield: 5 servings
Calories: 491

INGREDIENTS

  • 10 egg roll wrappers
  • 3 avocados peeled and pitted
  • 1 roma tomato diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • canola oil for frying

For the sweet chili sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add avocados, tomato, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Mash the avocados to a chunky consistency and stir to combine the ingredients. This will become the egg roll filling.
  • Lay out the egg roll wrappers and a small bowl of water. Distribute the egg roll filling among the wrappers, scooping them onto the bottom third of each wrapper. Taking one wrapper at a time, use a finger to brush water along its four edges. Fold up a corner over the filling, then the sides, and then roll it up. Dab the last fold with more water to seal. Repeat for all other wrappers.
  • Add canola oil to a large pot until the oil is about 2 inches deep. Turn the burner to medium heat. When the oil temperature reaches 350 F, add the egg rolls in batches. Cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Slice each egg roll diagonally.
  • Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well. Serve with sliced avocado egg rolls.

Every time I visit the Cheesecake Factory, I always order their avocado egg rolls as an appetizer. It’s crazy good and I can’t get enough of it. I’ve also ordered their egg roll sampler, which consists of tex-mex, crispy cuban, firecracker salmon, and of course avocado egg rolls.

This recipe is my recreation of theirย avocado egg rolls usingย as few ingredients as possible; all you need are egg roll wrappers, avocados, tomato, and oil for frying. I’ve also included one of my favorite sauces to date: a red sriracha-based dipping sauce that’s both spicy and sweet with a sticky texture.

When I first started making avocado egg rolls, I really wanted to cook them any other way than frying. I tried baking them, and they tasted terrible and did not even come close to fried egg rolls. There’s really no substitute for frying. To be exact, I deep fry the egg rolls, which means that theย egg rolls are submerged in hot oil in a large stovetop pot.

To gauge how much oil to add to your pot, you’ll want to pour in oil until it’s about 2 inches deep. The oil is ready for frying when it has reached 350 F. Note that the oil does not boil when it has reached temperature, so you’ll definitely need a thermometer. When the egg rolls have been added to the hot oil, they should be submerged butย not touching the bottom of the pot. I fry them in batches of about 3-5 egg rolls at a time, and for this recipe, I used a 3 quart pot.

You can find egg roll wrappers at most large supermarkets. They’re stocked in aย refrigerated section, typically near items like tofu. Check the label soย that you don’t accidentally buy wonton wrappers, which are different from egg roll wrappers.

The avocado egg rolls by themselves have delicious texture (think fried crunchiness with soft avocado), but are rather plain in taste. That’s where this sweet chili sauce comes in. Its taste is sweet at first, followed by a mild spicy tone. It pairsย amazingly well with avocado egg rolls and ranks high on my list of favorite homemade dipping sauces.

It’s also a little sticky so the sauce actually sticks and stays on to the egg rolls after dipping. It’s a pet peeve of mine when I encounter a tasty dipping sauce that isย soย thin and wateryย that it dripsย right off my dipping vehicle, which defeats the whole purpose.

Did not turn out well when cooked in air fryer (as recommended in previous comments). I cooked it on 350 for 6 minutes, then flipped and cooked for another 6.

The egg roll wrapper had a bitter floury taste

Egg rolls have egg in them so how is this vegan? Are there any other options?

This recipe isn’t vegan. Egg roll wrappers are mostly flour, not egg, and you can buy vegan versions with no egg.

Everything in this recipe is vegan. Even walmart carries vegan eggroll wrappers.

Yes! It works in the air fryer, and they are amazing. Iโ€™m not a fan of greasy food, so the air fryer was my preferred way of cooking these. I cooked them at 350 degrees for about 6-7 minutes. Delicious!

Can I prep these early and refrigerate? Then fry when I’m ready like your wontons? I’m not sure what the wraps will allow

You can prep the filling and the sauce ahead of time. Then when you’re ready, you can wrap them up and fry them. I wouldn’t recommend wrapping them ahead of time because the egg roll wrappers might get dry.

You totally can pre-wrap your egg rolls and freeze them. Wrap all of them, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment in the freezer, when fairly solid just transfer to a freezer safe zip-top bag or vacuum seal them for longer last.

*note: I would recommend also tossing your avocado slices in some sort of preservative like ascorbic acid (vitamin C powder) or maybe even some lime juice, to prevent browning. Although the freezer may halt the oxidation process, I wouldn’t totally count on that alone. Just make sure the avocado isn’t drenched in the juice and you should be good to roll.

Hope this helps!

I don’t recommend it, as it won’t taste anywhere near as good as the fried version.

Yes, you can do that. They’ll lose some of their crispness but will still taste great.

These look so good. I have a weird science question; how do the avocados not turn brown inside the egg rolls? Im afraid that will happen when I cook them.

Mine have never turned brown while cooking. I haven’t researched this before, so I’m not sure why.

Any special kind of avocado? How ripe should it be? Can these be re-heated?

Thank You

No special kind of avocado; I use medium sized or Haas avocados. It should be ripe — if you push your finger against the avocado, you should feel it give a bit. These egg rolls can’t be reheated later so I recommend eating them all at once. It shouldn’t be hard ๐Ÿ™‚
