Egg Rolls are typically deep fried.
Cooking them is the easy part. The hard part (not really hard just time consuming if you're a bit unorganized in the kitchen) is the prep work involved in getting the egg rolls ready for deep frying.
Typical Ingredients:
Steps:
Preheat your deep fryer. Allow your deep fryer to heat through thoroughly. Try to use peanut oil if possible, as it adds a pleasant nutty flavor to the egg rolls.
Stuff your rolls. Place your wraps on a clean surface so that the points are up and down and left and right (should appear as a diamond, not a square). Place the filling onto the rolls.
Wrap your rolls. Take the bottom point of your wrap and fold it over top of the filling. Fold the sides in towards the middle and roll the filling towards the top point of the wrapper.
Seal the egg roll. To prevent the egg roll from unwrapping in the deep fryer you need to seal the seams, this also prevents oil from filling the inside of the egg roll. In a small dish or bowl place a beaten egg. Dip your finger into the mixture and use this as glue to seal the top point of your wrap and any openings where you feel the wrap needs to be glued together.
Cook your egg rolls. Since deep fryer temperatures will vary and size of the egg rolls will affect the cooking time, there is no set cooking time. Place 3-4 egg rolls in the deep fryer and allow to cook until golden brown. Roll the egg rolls in the oil to evenly brown the wrapper. Avoid overcooking the egg rolls.
Serve immediately. Egg rolls are best served as soon as they have finished cooking. Serve with a chilled bottle of sweet cherry sauce, plum sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or anything you enjoy on egg rolls.

Also, another way to make egg rolls is to bake them. I've never personally made them this way, and I believe (most) Chinese restaurants deep fry them. I'll include a link at the bottom to a baked egg roll recipe.
