3. Fry
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry egg rolls in batches 3–4 minutes, turning until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
Air Fryer / Baked

- Baked: 400°F for 15–18 minutes, brush lightly with oil
Dipping Sauce Ideas

Pro Tips
- Freeze steak 15–20 minutes for ultra-thin slicing.
- Don’t overfill or cheese will leak.
- Let filling cool—hot filling tears wrappers.
