The $3.79 Dinner I Never Leave Aldi Without

As an avid air fryer user, I'm always on the lookout for more reasons to use my most-prized kitchen appliance. I'm also a frequent Aldi shopper, so I'm always on the hunt for new products to try from the budget-friendly grocery chain.

One day when scrolling through Tiktok, I stumbled upon a video of a user who was doing a taste test of Aldi’s Park Street Deli Egg Rolls and preparing them in an air fryer. After I saw the review, I was immediately planning my next trip to Aldi so I could try them for myself.

After trying the egg rolls just once, I was so impressed that they immediately became a staple that’s always in my refrigerator. One Sunday, I even went to two Aldi stores on the same day because the first didn’t have any on the shelves and I wanted to make sure I had some on hand for the week.

About Park Street Deli Egg Rolls

You can find Aldi’s Park Street Deli Egg Rolls in the refrigerated section of the store, available in both chicken and pork varieties, but I prefer the chicken. Each pack contains five egg rolls and costs just $3.79. The package includes both microwave and oven preparation directions, but I cook them in the air fryer for a crispier texture that helps these egg rolls rival those you’d get from a restaurant.

How I Prepare And Serve Them

I keep the egg rolls stocked in my fridge for a quick and easy dinner (or lunch!) on days when I don’t have a ton of time to spend in the kitchen. I usually buy two or three packs at a time, and move them from the refrigerator to the freezer if I don’t eat them before the best-by date, though that rarely happens.

To prepare them, I simply toss the egg rolls in the air fryer at 400*F for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. For a complete meal, I serve two egg rolls alongside microwave rice (Aldi’s Bremer Frozen Jasmine Rice is a favorite!) and add a chili sauce for dipping

In just about 10 minutes, I have an easy, filling, and delicious dinner that tastes like it could be served at a restaurant. And that's why I'll never leave Aldi without these egg rolls in my cart.
