Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the shredded cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften slightly but still have some crunch. Stir in the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, black pepper, and toasted sesame oil. Cook for another minute to blend the flavors. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape (one corner pointing toward you). Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Use a small dab of water to seal the top corner. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Air Fry the Egg Rolls

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer, leaving space between them for even cooking. Lightly spray or brush the tops with oil. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Step 4: Serve and Store

Let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or peanut sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes to retain crispiness.

FAQs

Can I freeze these egg rolls before cooking?
Yes! Place assembled egg rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag and store for up to 2 months. Cook directly from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes to the air fryer time.

What dipping sauces go well with these egg rolls?
Sweet chili sauce, soy sauce with rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, or peanut sauce are all great options for dipping.
