Hello good people, how are you guys doing today?

It’s the best Nigerian egg roll Rolling!
I’m super excited to share this recipe with you.
I know you will love it!
Nigerians love egg rolls so much, the challenge most have is that, majority don’t know how’s prepared.
Though some knowledge is needed on how Nigerian egg roll is made, especially when it comes to wrapping and frying the egg rolls.
These are the two major challenges people I came across complained about.
Either it didn’t give that egg roll shape or didn’t cook well inside.
The good news I brought today is that, if you follow this post, making Nigerian egg roll will be as simple as anything simple you can think of.
The best Nigerian egg roll is one of the popular Nigerian snack.
It’s deep fried and also similar to the Nigerian buns and fish roll, because they share almost the same ingredient aside from the egg wrapped with the dough.
Also, sausage rolls and spring rolls are in the same family.
Sometimes, people mistaken egg roll for scotch egg, they are two different snacks.
Our area of concentration today is on eggs rolls, in my subsequent post, I will teach how to make Scotch egg.

To address the two challenges I mentioned earlier people face in making Nigerian egg roll.
There are other methods but will share with you the method I used. Like I told you it’s simple.
My egg roll dough was stretchy and sticky because I added enough water, I wanted an egg roll with an easy bite, I controlled the sticky dough with flour.
The secret why the egg rolls came out smooth and well rounded was that I extensively worked with flour during the wrapping stage.
With the help of the flour, divide the dough with the number of eggs you have, then flatten a little with your hand, put the egg, remember the dough is stretchy and soft, pulling up the dough to cover the egg, then seal and smoothen moving the dough in your hands in a circular motion.

Aww! Thanks obinna for visiting adasrecipes!
Your recipes are on point
Thanks Bolutife.
Thanks for this. Can you help tell where I’m making mistakes? My egg roll doesn’t float in the oil
I don’think is a problem provided the egg roll cooked well inside.You can as well try it out again with my recipe. Also, know that When you put the egg roll in the hot oil it doesn’t float until when it’s done, even when done, it doesn’t float completely.
Thanks a lot for this.
You are welcome Catherine. I’m glad it helped.
Thanks for the great teaching.

What can i substitute for the powdered milk
You can use liquid milk.
Weldone dear. I thought eggs are used to mix the dough
It’s optional. Thanks for stopping by Joke.
My eggroll breaks what could be wrong
Sorry about that.Too much margarine could cause that.
Thanks my name sake for this recipe… I tried it and it was great,but the inside of my egg roll is too heavy why please
You are welcome Ada Good to hear that. I don’t think that is a problem.
Please is it true that too much baking powder can make the eggroll break? And is it okay to add yeast to the mixture?
All yes.
Great one ma.
can alittle yeast be added to ur recipe above? If yes what’s the measurement ma.
i love soft crispy eggroll but find it difficult to make it.
You’re welcome Vivian. You can 1/4 teaspoon
Pls is it normal for egg rolls to be hard after frying
Yes. It’s normal. Hard on the outside soft in the inside.
Please for making carrot oil can I use groundnut oil
You can use groundnut oil if you’re using it for cooking. If you’re using for skin and hair, coconut or olive oil is the best
very nice and simple recipe there, thanks Ada, really enjoy it.
Thanks. I appreciate.
Ada, you have been of help to me.. Tanx..
