Crispy Air-Fryer Egg Rolls
Description
Crispy Air-Fryer Egg Rolls combine ground chicken with aromatics like garlic and ginger, plus crisp vegetables such as celery and coleslaw mix. The filling is quickly stir-fried, then wrapped in traditional egg roll wrappers and sealed carefully. Cooking them in an air fryer at 400°F creates a crisp, golden crust without the oil immersion of traditional frying. The textures include a crunchy shell giving way to a tender, slightly spicy filling, balanced by savory sauces like oyster and soy.
This recipe works well as a handheld appetizer or snack, offering a convenient way to enjoy egg rolls without excess oil. The modest amount of sriracha leaves a gentle heat sliding in through the sesame flavor. Green onions add a mild freshness, and the use of air frying makes cleanup easier.
To prepare the egg rolls, it is important to wrap them tightly and seal edges using water or beaten egg to prevent bursting during cooking. The air fryer basket is sprayed with olive oil spray to encourage crispiness. Cooking time is short, flipping halfway, to ensure even crisping. These egg rolls are best served fresh to keep the wrappers crisp.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon ginger fresh, minced
- ½ cup celery finely chopped
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- ½ pound ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- ½ cup green onion chopped
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- olive oil for air frying, spray form
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and stir-fry garlic, ginger, and celery until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix and cook until the cabbage is wilted, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the ground chicken, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Stir-fry the chicken, breaking it apart as it cooks, for about 3-4 minutes or until fully cooked. Mix in the green onions and remove from heat.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture on the lower part of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Use water, or brush with beaten egg, to seal the edge. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray. Place the egg rolls in the basket without overcrowding, and lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray. Cook for 6 minutes, flip the egg rolls, and cook for another 6 minutes until crispy.
