Ingredients
Filling
- 1 pound ground chicken or ground pork
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Wrapping and Frying

- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Filling:
- Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in ground meat and break it up. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, oyster sauce, and ginger to the skillet. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until meat is cooked through.
- Add cabbage and carrots to the meat. Sauté alongside meat until vegetables soften but are still a bit firm, about 2-3 minutes. Filling should not be soggy.
- Once all is cooked, transfer into a container and let cool in the fridge.

Wrapping and Frying:
- In a wok or deep skillet, heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon in about 2 tablespoons of filling lengthwise into the center of the wrapper. Do not overfill. Using your fingers or a small brush, dab the beaten egg around the edges of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom of the wrapper up and over filling, then tuck the sides over the filling and roll the rest of the wrapper up tightly, ensuring it is sealed tight. Repeat until all are finished.
- Carefully place spring rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, and let fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate or cooking sheet.
- Serve hot with sweet chili sauce and enjoy!
Notes
- Spritz spring rolls with oil.
- Preheat air fryer to 390-400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Air fry for 4 minutes, flipping half way through.
- Serve hot with sweet chili sauce and enjoy!
