Instructions
- Alternative Pan Fry Method: If you don’t have access to an air fryer, you can make these egg rolls using a traditional pan fry method.
- Add enough oil to a medium skillet with high walls so the oil is about 1/2 inch up the side of the skillet.
- Heat oil on medium high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Add egg rolls and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, flip, and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove and let them drain and cool on a few paper towels.
- Cook the filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil along with the ground pork or chicken.
- Break apart the meat with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Cook until the meat is cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add garlic, ginger, carrot, scallions, and cabbage.
- Continue to cook until cabbage wilts down and is soft, another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Season the filling with soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, and take off the heat to cool.
- (This filling can be made in advance.
- ) Assemble the egg rolls: Place a single egg roll wrapper on a dry surface with one point of the square facing you (like a diamond).
- Place about 1/4 cup of the egg roll filling mixture in the middle of the wrapper.
- Dip your fingers in water and run around the edges of the wrapper.
- Then fold the edges of the wrapper over the center and start rolling the egg roll away from you to form a tight cylinder.
- Place on a plate and repeat until you are out of filling.
- You should get at least a dozen egg rolls.
- Air fry the egg rolls: Place the egg rolls in the basket of your air fryer.
- Spray or brush them lightly with oil.
- Add as many as you can without stacking the egg rolls, making sure they don’t touch.
- Air needs to circulate around them.
- Brush the egg rolls lightly with oil.
- Place the basket in the air fryer and turn the air fryer to 350°F.
- Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, then flip the egg rolls, spray or brush with oil a second time on the bottom side, and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Finished egg rolls should be golden brown and crispy! Serve immediately.
