Heat a pan over medium-high heat.

Add ground chicken to the pan and break it up with a wooden spoon.

Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes until it starts to cook down and soften, but do not overcook it.

Remove the chicken from heat once cooked.

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cold water with 1 tablespoon of flour to create a paste for sealing the egg rolls.

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you.

Place a small amount of the chicken and vegetable mixture near the corner of the wrapper.

Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal the egg roll.

Use your finger to apply the flour paste to the edges to help seal it.

Continue rolling until the egg roll is fully sealed and shaped like an envelope.

Set up a deep fryer or a large pot filled with oil for frying.

Check the oil temperature before frying the egg rolls.

Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, making sure they are submerged.

Fry the egg rolls for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve the egg rolls hot with dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce or teriyaki sauce.
