Servings: 8 egg rolls
Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground pork 70%-30%
- 4 scallions white and green parts separated and sliced thin
- 3 medium cloves garlic finely grated on a mircoplane
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 3 cups (- ounces) shredded Savoy cabbage
- ½ cup (2-ounces) shredded carrot
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 8 egg roll wrappers
Instructions
- Cook pork in a 12-inch non-stick skillet (no oil needed) over medium-high heatuntil no longer pink, about 5 minutes, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon. Add scallion whites, garlic, and ginger and cooke until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add cabbage, carrots, soy sauce, and sugar and cook until cabbage is just softened, about 3 minutes.
- Off heat, stir in lime, juice, sesame oil, and scallion greens. Transfer filling to a platter or quarter-size rimmed baking sheet, spread into an even layer, and refrigerate until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Working with 1 egg roll wrapper at a time, place a wrapper on the counter with one corner point facing toward the edge of the counter. Place a lightly packed ⅓ cup of filling on the bottom half of the wrapper and mold it into a neat cylindrical shape. Using your fingertips, brush the entire border of the wrapper with a thin film of the egg wash.
- Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling and press it down on the other side. Fold both corners of the wrapper in and over the filling and press gently to seal. Roll filling up and over itself until the wrapper is fully sealed. Place the egg roll seam side down on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and cover with a damp paper towel while shaping the remaining egg rolls.
- Lightly spray the air-fryer grate or basket with oil spray. Lightly spray the desired number of egg rolls with oil spray, then arrange them on the air fryer grate or in the air fryer basket, spacing them at least ½-inch apart. Place the basket in the air fryer and set the temperature to 375℉. Bake until egg rolls are golden brown, 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
*This recipe can easily be doubled. The number of egg rolls you can cook at once depends on the size of your air fryer.
Uncooked egg rolls can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours or frozen (using the IQF-individually quick frozen method) and stored in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. DO NOT thaw egg rolls before cooking. Rather, increase the cooking time to 12-18 minutes.
