Print Recipe

These crispy egg rolls combine classic Reuben flavors of corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese wrapped in a crunchy shell, served with a tangy and creamy Thousand Island dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces corned beef, finely chopped or shredded
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, well-drained and chopped
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 12 egg roll wrappers (square preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • For the Thousand Island sauce:
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix the finely chopped corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, and shredded Swiss cheese. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Chill in the fridge.
  3. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Brush the edges with melted butter.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.
  5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides snugly, then roll up tightly toward the top corner. Press the buttered edge to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  6. Pour about 2 inches of vegetable oil into a skillet and heat to 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small piece of wrapper in; it should bubble and rise quickly.
  7. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Use tongs to turn gently.
  8. Remove egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with the Thousand Island sauce.

Notes

Drain sauerkraut thoroughly to prevent soggy wrappers. Use melted butter on wrappers for extra crispness and better sealing. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature. A digital thermometer helps keep oil at 350°F. You can bake the egg rolls at 400°F for 15-20 minutes as a lighter alternative, brushing with butter or oil to crisp.
