Description
Delightful and crispy homemade egg rolls filled with a savory mixture, perfect for fall gatherings or cozy evenings.
Ingredients
- 1 package (12-14) egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cabbage (green or purple)
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (or a halal protein alternative)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil spray (for crisping)
- ยฝ cup sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (for dipping)
Instructions
- Prep the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped onion, cooked chicken, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Assemble the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll upwards to seal. Use a drop of water to seal the top corner.
- Prepare for air frying: Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling. Lightly spray the egg rolls with olive oil spray to encourage that delightful crunch.
- Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Place the egg rolls in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and fry them for about 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix together sweet chili sauce and rice vinegar to create a zesty dipping sauce.
- Serve and enjoy: Once your egg rolls are perfectly crispy, serve them hot with the dipping sauce, and savor the delicious flavors!
Notes
Tips for success include not overfilling the wrappers and preheating the air fryer for an even crisp.
