Air Fryer Egg Rolls!

Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 cups cabbage, shredded
- 1 carrot, peeled, shredded
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 2 green onions, sliced, thinly
- 1 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1/2 tbsp. sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- Extra virgin olive oil for brushing must be olive oil
- sweet chili sauce for dipping or whatever you like.
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the cabbage, carrot, and celery. Boil for 3 minutes.
- Drain in a strainer.
- Let it cool for a bit and then move to the center of a kitchen towel.
- Bring the sides up and wring out as much water as you can over the sink. If its still very hot water you can wring the towel and use a wooden spoon to press on it and help get the water out. Just BE CAREFUL it is very HOT.
- Ok after that you can move to a mixing bowl.
- Add to the bowl, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
- Now to the wrapping.
- Lay a egg roll wrapper out with one point facing you , like pictured. In the center, add a scoop of the mixture. Try to eyeball what you think will be enough to fill all 8 egg roll wrappers. You can see about the amount I used. Heaping tablespoon or so.
- Next step is to begin rolling. Take the sides and fold them in.
- Grab the bottom corner, facing you and roll it over the side folds and continue to roll, fairly tight but not too rip it.
- When you get to the end, brush the edge with the beaten egg to seal it.
- Lay it seam side down on a lightly floured surface or baking sheet.
- Continue with the remaining ingredients until the filling is gone, doing your best to make them even.
- Next step is to brush them generously with oil. Extra virgin olive oil is an important part as it will help get them crunchy without burning or bubbling too much. Brush both sides and the ends. We want them lubed so they will get crispy and not burn.
- Warm the air fryer basket or baskets for about minutes on 360°
- Pull the baskets out after warming and carefully brush with olive oil.
- Now place the egg rolls in the basket SEAM SIDE down. Don't let them touch.
- Air fry on 360° for 7 minutes. Then flip and cook for 5-7 more minutes or until nice and golden. Just keep an eye on them so they do not burn.
- Boom! Look at that. Golden crispy, chewy, guilt free egg rolls.
- So yum. ENJOY!
