• Sesame oil: Nutty richness for an authentic taste.
• Black pepper: A hint of spice for balance.

How To Make Copycat Jack in The Box Egg Rolls

Step 1: In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground pork until browned. Add shredded cabbage, grated carrots, minced garlic, and green onions. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until veggies are slightly softened.

Step 2: Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to let flavors meld. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the top edge with a bit of water.

Step 4:

• To fry: Heat oil to 350°F and fry egg rolls for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
• To air fry: Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray egg rolls with oil and air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.

Step 5: Let cool slightly, then serve with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Copycat Jack in The Box Egg Rolls Recipe Tips

• 🧊 Cool the filling before rolling – Warm filling can make the wrappers soggy and harder to seal.
• 🥕 Shred veggies thinly – This helps everything cook evenly and stay crisp inside.
• 💧 Use water to seal tightly – Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper to keep everything sealed while frying.
• 🔥 Don’t overcrowd the air fryer or pan – Space them out so they crisp up evenly and don’t steam.
• 🧂 Taste and adjust the seasoning – Add a dash of chili flakes or more soy sauce for your preferred flavor punch.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating

• 🧊 Storing: Place leftover egg rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. 🥡 Let them cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess.
• ❄️ Freezing: Freeze uncooked or cooked egg rolls on a baking sheet first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. 🧊 They’ll keep well in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• 🔄 Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes until crispy. 🔥 Avoid microwaving if you want to keep that golden crunch!

Copycat Jack in The Box Egg Rolls Recipe Faqs

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! You can prep and roll the egg rolls a few hours ahead. Just cover and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Can I use ground chicken or turkey instead of pork? Absolutely! Ground chicken or turkey are great lean alternatives and still taste delicious.

What dipping sauce works best? Sweet and sour sauce is the classic go-to, but soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, or even ranch (Jack in the Box style!) are tasty options.

Can I bake them instead of frying or air frying? Yes! Bake at 400°F for about 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through and brushing lightly with oil for crispiness.

Why did my egg rolls burst open? This usually happens if they’re overfilled or not sealed tightly. Use water to seal edges and don’t overpack the wrappers.
