Can I make egg rolls gluten-free?

To achieve a crispy texture when frying egg rolls, ensure the oil is hot enough before adding them to the pan. A temperature of around 350°F (175°C) is ideal. Fry them in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature, and make sure to drain them on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
