Easy Air Fryer Egg Rolls Recipe – How To Make Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Introduction:
Air fryers have taken the culinary world by storm, offering a healthier alternative to traditional deep frying methods. One of the delicious treats you can whip up in an air fryer is egg rolls. This easy air fryer egg rolls recipe will show you how to make perfectly crispy and delicious egg rolls right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground pork or chicken
– 2 cups shredded cabbage
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 2 green onions, sliced thinly
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 12 egg roll wrappers
– Cooking spray or oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork or chicken, breaking it into small pieces, until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and transfer the meat to a mixing bowl.
3. In the same skillet, sauté the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and garlic for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
4. Add the cooked vegetables to the mixing bowl with the cooked meat. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, grated ginger, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
5. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you. Place about two tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
6. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and then fold both sides of the wrapper towards the center. Roll tightly from the bottom towards the top corner while ensuring that there are no gaps. Moisten the top corner with a few drops of water and press it down firmly to seal the egg roll.
7. Repeat the process for the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
8. Lightly spray or brush the egg rolls with oil to help them brown evenly in the air fryer.
9. Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding any overlapping.
10. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through the cook time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
11. Carefully remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
Your homemade air-fried egg rolls are now ready to be enjoyed! This easy recipe is perfect for parties or just a fun mealtime treat for the family. The use of an air fryer ensures that these egg rolls are crispy without feeling greasy, making them a healthier option for everyone to savor.
