Ingredients
- Egg roll wrappers - 1 package 12 wrappers
- Shredded cabbage - 2 cups
- Julienned carrots - 1 cup
- Diced onions - ½ cup
- Bean sprouts - 1 cup
- Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
- Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
- Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté cabbage, carrots, onions, and bean sprouts.
- Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Roll the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the top corner with water. Repeat for all wrappers.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the Egg Rolls:
- Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray.
- Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like sweet and sour sauce, spicy sriracha mayo, or garlic ginger soy sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the egg rolls are not overcrowded in the air fryer basket.
- Add cooked ground pork, shredded chicken, or tofu to the filling for additional protein.
- Leftover egg rolls can be frozen and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.
