Instructions
Preparation
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the chopped corned beef, well-drained sauerkraut, shredded Swiss cheese, 1/4 cup of Russian dressing, and rye bread crumbs. Mix until well combined.
- 2Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the Reuben filling in the center, forming a log shape.
- 3Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll tightly from the bottom upward, brushing the top corner with beaten egg wash to seal the roll completely.
- 4Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Cooking
- 1Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil for the spring rolls to be mostly submerged.
- 2Carefully place 3-4 spring rolls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- 3Remove the fried spring rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 4Repeat with the remaining spring rolls.
Serving
- 1Serve the crispy Reuben spring rolls immediately with extra Russian dressing for dipping.

Tips
- Ensure sauerkraut is thoroughly squeezed dry to prevent soggy spring rolls. Excess moisture can make them greasy or cause them to burst.
- Maintain oil temperature for even cooking and crispness; if too low, rolls absorb oil; if too high, they brown too quickly.
- For an extra touch, warm the Russian dressing gently before serving to enhance its creamy texture and flavor.
