3. How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best results.
4. Can I make these ahead of time?
Prepare the eggrolls and refrigerate uncooked for up to 12 hours. Fry or bake just before serving.

Yes, you can use wonton wrappers for smaller bites or phyllo dough for a flakier texture.
