Ingredients

Scale
  • 16–18 egg roll wrappers
  • 8 oz cooked corned beef, chopped
  • 6 oz Swiss cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed dry
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle, finely chopped (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying, or enough to fill skillet 1 inch deep)
  • For the Thousand Island Dipping Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Finely chop corned beef and Swiss cheese. Place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add drained sauerkraut and chopped dill pickle. Season with black pepper and toss until evenly mixed.
  3. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Keep a small bowl of water nearby for sealing.
  4. Spoon about 2 tbsp of filling onto the lower third of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
  5. Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet or deep fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Carefully add egg rolls to hot oil, frying 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Flip with tongs for even color. Drain on paper towels or a wire rack.
  7. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  8. Arrange egg rolls on a platter and serve hot with the Thousand Island dipping sauce.

Notes

Drain and squeeze sauerkraut well to prevent soggy egg rolls. Don’t overfill wrappers and seal edges firmly with water. Fry in batches for best crispiness. For a lighter option, bake at 425°F for 15–18 minutes, brushed with oil. Vegetarian and gluten-free adaptations are possible. Dipping sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated.
