EASY Air Fryer Egg Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Pork (prefer 20% fat for juiciness)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil (neutral oil for sautéing)
• 2 Green Onions (chopped, use whole white and green parts)
• 2 Garlic Cloves (smashed and minced or pressed)
• 3 cups Coleslaw Mix (pre‑shredded cabbage and carrots; can substitute homemade shredded cabbage + grated carrots)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (peeled and grated)
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (low‑sodium optional)
• 2 teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil (adds nutty flavor)
• 8 Egg Roll Wrappers (keep covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying)
• as needed Olive Oil Spray or Cooking Spray (for coating egg rolls before air frying)
• ¼ cup Water Chestnuts (optional) (chopped, adds extra crunch)

Instructions

1. Prep Aromatics

   Trim and finely chop the green onions. Smash the garlic cloves, peel, and either mince them or run them through a garlic press. Peel the ginger and grate 1 teaspoon using a microplane.

   Time: PT5M

2. Brown the Pork

   Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the ground pork, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring frequently, until it is well‑browned and only a few pink bits remain (about 4–5 minutes).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium‑high heat

3. Add Vegetables & Aromatics

   Stir in the coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage and carrots), the chopped green onions, the garlic, and the grated ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT2M

4. Season the Filling

   Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil to the skillet. Stir for another minute to combine.

   Time: PT1M

5. Cool the Filling

   Transfer the hot filling to a mixing bowl and let it sit for 2 minutes so it cools enough to handle.

   Time: PT2M

6. Prepare the Wrappers

   Lay the egg‑roll wrappers on a clean surface, cover them with a slightly damp kitchen towel, and lightly brush the two long edges of each wrapper with water using a pastry brush.

   Time: PT3M

7. Assemble Egg Rolls

   Place 2–3 tablespoons of the cooled filling in the center of a wrapper (diagonally). Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the side corners, then roll tightly toward the top corner. Seal the final edge with a little water.

   Time: PT8M

8. First Air‑Fry Batch

   Preheat the air fryer to 350°F if your model requires it. Lightly spray the tops of the first 4‑5 egg rolls with oil. Place them oil‑side down in the basket, leaving space between each roll. Air‑fry for 7 minutes.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: 350°F

9. Flip and Finish First Batch

   After 7 minutes, spray the tops again, flip each roll, and air‑fry for an additional 5 minutes until golden and crisp.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F

10. Second Air‑Fry Batch

    Repeat steps 8 and 9 with the remaining egg rolls.

    Time: PT12M

    Temperature: 350°F

11. Serve

    Remove the egg rolls, let them rest a minute, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

    Time: PT1M
