What Kind of Wrappers Should I Use for Chicken Coleslaw Egg Rolls?

For this recipe, standard egg roll wrappers (found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores) work perfectly. They’re thinner than spring roll wrappers and fry up beautifully into that signature bubbly, crispy texture. If you can’t find them, wonton wrappers can work in a pinch – just know they’ll be smaller and require less filling.

Ingredients for the Chicken Coleslaw Egg Rolls

Ground Chicken: Lean, flavorful, and cooks quickly. A great base for soaking up all the Asian-inspired seasoning.

Coleslaw Mix: A pre-shredded mix of green cabbage, purple cabbage, and carrots adds crunch, color, and convenience.

Garlic & Ginger: These aromatics infuse the filling with depth and a warm, zesty flavor that balances the veggies and meat.

Soy Sauce: Adds saltiness and umami that brings the whole mixture together.

Sesame Oil: A drizzle is all you need for that distinct nutty aroma that screams stir-fry.

Egg Roll Wrappers: Crispy vessels that hold all that juicy filling. Fry to golden perfection or bake for a lighter version.

Green Onions: For a burst of freshness and mild onion flavor that rounds out the roll.

Cooking Oil: High-smoke point oils like canola or vegetable oil are ideal for frying.

How To Make the Chicken Coleslaw Egg Rolls

Step 1: Sauté the Filling

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks. Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and coleslaw mix. Sauté until vegetables are softened but still a bit crisp, then toss in sliced green onions. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of filling near the bottom. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly and seal the top edge with a dab of water. Repeat with the remaining filling.

Step 3: Fry Until Crispy

Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry a few egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Serve Hot with Dipping Sauce

Serve immediately while hot and crispy with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or spicy mustard.

How to Store and Reheat Chicken Coleslaw Egg Rolls

Leftover egg rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to keep them crispy. If freezing, lay uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen by adding 1-2 extra minutes to the frying or baking time.
