If you want to take your egg roll rice bowl a step further, try making homemade fried wonton strips. Start with store-bought wonton wrappers and cut them into the size that you prefer. Try not to make them too small so they do not burn. To get that crisp texture, deep-fry them in vegetable or canola oil or use an Air Fryer if you have one available.
