Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- ½ pound ground pork
- 3 cups green cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrots shredded
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- ½ cup button mushrooms cleaned and chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 20 egg roll wrappers (2 per egg roll)
- Avocado oil spray (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Add the sesame oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground pork and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces, until no longer pink about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the veggies are soft.
- Add the soy sauce and sriracha and stir to combine. Turn the skillet to high heat for 30-60 seconds so any excess liquid can evaporate. (You don’t want the filling to be too wet.) Check the seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper to your liking. Remove the filling from the heat and set aside.
- Place 2 egg roll wrappers on a flat surface so that they overlap on one corner, with the upper wrapper overlapping the bottom one.
- Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling in the middle of the lower wrap. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Fold the left and right corners in toward the center. Pushing the egg roll away from you, roll toward the middle of the upper wrapper. Fold the sides of the upper wrapper into the middle and roll until the end. Dab some water on the corner of the wrapper to glue the dough to the roll.
- Spray the egg rolls with avocado oil (or brush with vegetable oil) on both sides. Place them into the basket of your air fryer in a single layer so they are not touching.
- Cook at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Flip the egg rolls halfway through cooking. (You will need to cook in batches.)
- Carefully remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Cooking time varies based on your air fryer and on how crisp you want the egg rolls to be.
- You can use only one egg roll wrapper if desired, but I prefer to use two. That way, the egg roll wrapper won’t rip as easily, and they get even crispier!
