Oil Temperature
Ideally, you want to heat the oil to at least 350°F before adding the egg rolls to the oil. A candy thermometer comes in very handy for this. If the temperature of the oil is too low your egg rolls will be very greasy. If the temp is too high the egg rolls will burn.
Deep Frying Oils
When it comes to Deep Frying food you want to choose an oil that has a high smoke point and neutral in flavor so it won’t affect the flavor of whatever you are frying. Vegetable Oil, Corn Oil, Canola Oil and Peanut Oil are some of the more popular and affordable options.
