Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Description
Air Fryer Egg Rolls use ground pork seasoned with fresh ginger and garlic as their base, incorporating shredded cabbage and carrots for texture and mild sweetness. The filling is cooked through on the stovetop before being wrapped in egg roll wrappers. A simple flour-water paste seals the edges, preventing the filling from leaking. Brushing the rolls with a little oil before air frying ensures a crisp, browned crust that mimics deep-fried egg rolls without the excess oil. Cooking in batches at 390°F results in a tender yet crunchy egg roll exterior.
The combination of soy sauce and green onions adds a savory and slightly aromatic note, balancing the richness of the pork and the freshness of the vegetables. These egg rolls can be served warm as a snack or appetizer and pair well with dipping sauces like sweet and sour or soy sauce-based dressings.
The recipe is simple but requires wrapping attention to seal the rolls. Cooking them in small batches keeps them evenly crisp. Any leftover egg rolls should be reheated in the air fryer to maintain their texture.
