Equipment

1 dish water
1 plate

Ingredients

12 large egg roll wrappers homemade or store bought
2 cups string cheese mozzarella
1 cup spaghetti sauce
1 cup pepperoni
6 cups vegetable oil more or less to fill half the pan

Instructions

On a cutting board lay an egg roll wrapper down. Spoon in a tbsp of sauce in the middle leaving 1" on each side empty.
Add a piece of string cheese on top of sauce and any toppings.
Fold sides of egg roll wrapper in, then roll up. Wet finger and wipe water on edge of wrapper and seal closed.
Once they are all ready to be fried add oil to pan over med. high heat.
Wait until oil reaches 350F - 370., or test with a pinch of wrapper into oil, if it immediately fries then it is ready. Put filled rolls into oil (leave room between each one) and leave for about 2 minutes on each side so they are browned nicely. Put on paper towels when done so it can absorb excess oil.

Notes

Cooked in Air Fryer

Preheat to 380 for 5 minutes. Prepare rolls and spray inside with oil. Lay inside and generously spray the top of your rolls with olive oil. Air fry for a total of about 5-8 minutes, flip over halfway thru and spray tops again at that time until they are a deep golden brown and middle is melted.
