Takeout copycats

With these handmade fake-out meals, you can transform your egg roll dinner into an Asian feast!

I usually eat my egg rolls with fried rice, but a bowl of hot noodles looks delicious as well.

If you’re looking for additional protein, a spicy sweet and sour chicken will never let you down.

Supreme soy sauce fried rice

This dish will completely outperform your favorite takeaway fried rice.

The greatest soy sauce, created with sugar, fish sauce, shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, dark and light soy sauce, is a game changer.

It’s easy, yet it’ll give plain old rice a rich, delicious umami taste.

Extra ultimate soy sauce may be stored and used to effortlessly liven up other meals.

Egg drop soup

Egg drop soup is a traditional Chinese dish that is constantly available on menus alongside Hot and sour soup and Wonton soup.

All three of these soups would be delicious with egg rolls.

I used to think egg drop soup was horrible, but then I tasted it and realized I was completely incorrect.

It was wonderful, warm, and soothing.

General Tso’s chicken

General Tso’s Chicken is the ideal combination of sweet, sour, and umami flavor.

You may serve it as a main course after some egg roll appetizers, or you can make the chicken bits into a party snack by placing one or two on cocktail sticks.

Crab Rangoon

Crab rangoon is a decadent combination of crab and cream cheese wrapped in a crispy wonton wrapper.

They’re little American-Chinese sweets that go well with egg rolls.

Do you know what dipping sauce to use?

A sweet and sour dip complements crab rangoon and egg rolls well.

Kelly also has a wonderful instruction on how to prepare crab rangoon for optimum flavor and crunch.

Tip: Go all out and offer gyoza or potstickers as well.

Salt and pepper pork chops

Do you like your golden egg rolls to have more crunch? Serve them with these seasoned pork chops.

The cornstarch-coated chops are fried in garlic and jalapeno-infused oil, according to Omnivore Cookbook.

This gives the chops a garlicky, gently spicy edge that will send your taste senses into overdrive.

In addition, the crunchy garlic and jalapeño pieces provide a nice crunch. Win-win!

Air fryer orange tofu

As much as I like the chicken version, I prefer this orange tofu dish on hectic weeknights.

Air frying tofu is more simpler than frying it, and it becomes incredibly golden and crispy without adding additional calories.

And the sauce is ready in about 10 minutes!

Jessica in the Kitchen suggests using freshly squeezed orange juice for the best results, but I like store-bought since it is less messy.

Chow mein

What goes better together than chicken chow mein and egg rolls? I’ll be patient.

Egg-fried rice is a meal that is nearly as traditional as chow mein. One of the two dishes would be missing from any Chinese feast.

Chow mein does not have to be high in calories (which is great when you want a second helping).

Consider, for example, Hint of Helen’s 500-calorie air fryer chow mein. It strikes the spot without putting a strain on your waistline.

Vegetables and salads

Make your egg rolls healthy by serving them with a nice vegetable side or a simple salad.

A conventional vegetable stir-fry can never go wrong, but for a more genuine choice, try a Chinese cabbage stir-fry.

A fresh cucumber salad may aid cut through the greasiness of your crispy fried egg rolls when it comes to salads.

Soba noodle salad

Put an egg roll on top of a noodle salad for a nutritious, satisfying lunch with a delightful surprise on top.

Just remember to preserve a bite of the egg roll until the end to mop up any excess salad dressing.

Paradise in a single mouthful.

Blistered green beans

I adore roasted green beans, but this blistering version takes them to a whole new level.

They’re charred and scorched in places, yet they’re still wet and crisp-tender.

What is the secret? Pre-cooking the green beans in the microwave guarantees that they are fully done!

Serve these blistered green beans with your egg rolls and fried rice for a filling and healthful lunch.

Asian Slaw

Coleslaw is bursting with vibrant flavors that will perk up your egg rolls.

With an Asian twist, you have the ideal match.

It’s simple to make, naturally vegan, and a true show stopper.

My typical go-to coleslaw is creamy mayo-based, but Tracy at servedfromscratch’s sesame ginger dressing is delicious.

Whichever dressing you choose, your slaw is guaranteed to be a hit. Make plenty since you don’t want any dissatisfied visitors!

Cucumber salad

Cucumber salad may seem uninteresting, but I guarantee you that it is not.

Sometimes the simplest things in life are the most enjoyable.

Cucumber salad can be made in less than 5 minutes, making it ideal for a quick side dish to egg rolls.

It will brighten up people’s plates and serve as a nice palate cleanser.

A Thai-inspired cucumber salad with a sesame-ginger dressing is available at Olivas cuisine. Yum.

Bok choy

One of my favorite veggies has got to be bok choy.

It’s crisp, clean, and crispy. Bok choy is a good option for a lighter side dish to go with your egg rolls.

You may also add some choy sum (another Chinese vegetable).

Steam the bok choy for an easy side dish.

For a more complex dish, stir fried the bok choy in a mixture of garlic, soy sauce, and siracha.

Snacks and dips

Egg rolls aren’t only for supper; they’re also a wonderful party snack (especially on game day).

Serve with coconut shrimp and a sweet chili sauce. Make a creamy guacamole dip for a wonderful Mexican twist.

Why not up the ante with some crispy, gooey mozzarella sticks?

Guacamole

While egg rolls may be rather filling, I prefer to pair them with a light and refreshing guacamole.

You can never go wrong with some delicious guacamole!

Everyone makes guac differently, but I enjoy mine with a lot of lime juice, coriander, tomato, and red onion.

My secret ingredient for delicious guacamole? A few teaspoons Worcestershire sauce.

Nachos

Nachos are an all-time favorite party snack.

No one will be dissatisfied whether you serve them with your egg rolls or as an appetizer beforehand.

The best part? You can top the nachos with anything you like.

The one thing you can’t go wrong with is gobs of gooey melting cheese.

These carne asada nachos from Damn Delicious are one of my all-time favorite nacho recipes.

You’ll thank me afterwards!

Loaded potato skins

Loaded potato skins are not only easy to prepare but also tasty (and kid-friendly).

If you’re pressed for time, make them ahead of time and then crisp them up just before serving.

There are several toppings to choose from, and they are a simple finger meal, similar to egg rolls.

I like the traditional bacon, cheese, and chives combination (this dish from candid appetite sounds delicious!).

If you want something a bit more genuine, these Asian stuffed potato skins are perfect. (There is no such thing as too much hoisin!).

Tempura

A crowd-pleaser is shrimp tempura (just like egg rolls).

The mix of crunchy panko breadcrumbs and mushy shrimp is just enticing.

You may also serve this as a vegetable side dish. I like battering mushrooms and green beans.

Chefjar’s shrimp tempura is served with a handmade yum yum sauce.

Sushi rolls

Sushi rolls are enjoyable to eat and much more enjoyable to prepare.

You may get the guests engaged in preparing their own sushi for an engaging supper. They could even forget to eat the egg rolls!

When it comes to sushi, you have a lot of options.

Simple vegetable sushi is available, or you can jazz it up with crab sticks or smoked salmon.

There’s basic veggie sushi, as well as crab sticks and smoked salmon.
