Air Fryer Egg Rolls

Equipment

• 1 Air Fryer

• Ingredients

  • ½ pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • ½ cup chopped onions yellow or white
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced, about 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage purple or green
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 8 egg roll wrappers

  • Instructions

    • 1. To make the egg roll filling, use a large skillet, on medium-high heat, and brown the ground pork. Stir together until the pork is cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
      2. Keep the skillet on medium heat, combine sesame oil, onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, cabbage, and carrots. Continue stirring until the vegetables begin to soften, and all of the ingredients are well combined, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture slightly cool before trying to wrap them.

    • On a flat surface, lay out wrappers with corners left and right. Fill the center of the wonton with a large spoonful or two of the cabbage the filling.
    • Fold bottom corn over the filling and tuck under. Next, fold in the left and right corners, and then turn over, (rolling like a burrito) to make a large pillow shape. Dip you one or two fingers in water, or use a pastry brush, and then trace the wrapper with water, just on the outer edges, so when you fold them, they will seal.
    • • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray, and place each rolls in air fryer, in a single layer, without stacking or overlapping.
      • Air fry at 400 degrees F for 5-8 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway during the air frying process.

      Notes

      You can make the filling ahead of time, and keep in the refrigerator until ready to make the egg rolls. This saves a little bit of time, and lets the meat and veggies marinate together.

      Brush or spray the egg rolls with a little bit of olive oil. This will help them turn golden brown and crispy.

      This recipe makes should make 6-8 egg rolls, depending on how much filling you put on the egg roll. If making a double batch of egg rolls, leave enough space in the air fryer basket so the air can flow around them and they can cook evenly.

      To save time, use a coleslaw mix from the produce section at your local grocery store. It will have shredded cabbage and carrots ready to go.
