Ingredient Breakdown for Voodoo Egg Rolls
- 1 package egg roll wrappers (about 20)
- 1 pound protein of choice (ground pork, turkey, chicken, or vegetarian)
- 2 cups shredded vegetables (cabbage, carrots, green onions)
- 3 tablespoons creole seasoning
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Minced or powdered garlic
- Dipping sauce (spicy ranch or soy sauce with sriracha)
How to Make Voodoo Egg Rolls
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown 1 pound of your protein of choice. You want to cook it until browned and crumbly (about 5-7 minutes). You’ll smell that delicious meatiness developing and trust me, it gets you all excited for what’s coming next! As it cooks, stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
Step 2: Add the Veggies
Once your protein is looking golden and smelling fantastic, it’s time to add your veggies! Stir in about 2 cups total of shredded cabbage, grated carrots, and chopped green onions. Cook this for another 4-5 minutes until the veggies are softened and slightly translucent. Can you smell that? Mmm!
Step 3: Spice it Up
Now, add 3 tablespoons of creole seasoning. Give it a good stir, making sure everything gets coated evenly. The longer you let it cook, the more the flavors meld together. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and place about 2 tablespoons of your filling near one corner. Not too much, or they will burst open! Fold the bottom over, grabbing the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Seal it with a bit of water on the edges. Repeat until all the filling is gone, process and wrap like you’re in an egg roll competition!
Step 5: Fry Those Bad Boys!
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan/oil of choice, about 2 inches deep, over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry your egg rolls in batches, about 3-4 at a time, for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. You’ll want to watch them closely, turning occasionally to ensure they brown evenly. When done, place them on paper towels to drain.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve your egg rolls warm with your homemade dipping sauce, and just like that, you’ve got a quick and easy dinner that’s bound to impress! Your family will love the crunch and those amazing flavors.

Serving Suggestions
These Voodoo Egg Rolls are amazing on their own, but they’re even better with a side of sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or even a homemade spicy mayo. Pair them with a fresh salad or some steamed veggies for a complete meal!
Storage
Leftover egg rolls keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days stored in an airtight container.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, an oven is the best way to maintain that crispy texture! Simply pop them in at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes. If you’re in a hurry, the microwave will work too, but you’ll lose that lovely crunch.
Freezer Friendly
Yes, these can be frozen! After frying, allow them to cool completely, then place them in a freezer bag. They last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just reheat them in the oven straight from frozen!
