Air Fryer Egg Rolls

Ingredients

• ½ lb ground pork
• 2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp ginger, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 8 count egg roll wrappers
• 2 tbsp water, for sealing

Instructions

1. 1

   Set the air fryer to 380°F and let it heat for 3 minutes while you prepare the filling, until the display shows the target temperature has been reached.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, shredded cabbage, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoon minced ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove; stir with a spoon until the ingredients are evenly mixed throughout.

3. 3

   Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing toward you, in a diamond orientation.

4. 4

   Spoon 2 tablespoons of the pork-cabbage filling into the center of the wrapper, leaving a 0.5-inch border of empty wrapper visible around all edges.

5. 5

   Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the filling, pressing gently to seal the filling inside.

6. 6

   Fold the left and right corners inward over the top of the filling, pressing the edges to seal them.

7. 7

   Dip your finger in 2 tablespoons water, then wet the top corner of the wrapper lightly so it will stick.

8. 8

   Roll the wrapped filling away from you toward the top corner, tucking it in tightly, then seal by pressing the wet corner down firmly.

9. 9

   Repeat steps 3 through 8 with the remaining 7 wrappers and filling until all 8 egg rolls are assembled.

10. 10

    Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking oil, then arrange the 8 egg rolls inside in a single layer with space between each one so hot air can flow around them.

11. 11

    Air fry at 380°F for 8 minutes, shaking the basket gently at the 4-minute mark to rotate the rolls for even browning, until all surfaces are golden brown and crispy.

12. 12

    Transfer the egg rolls to a plate and let them cool for 1 minute before serving, so the filling inside has time to set slightly and won't be too hot to bite into.
