Credits: House of X Tia

• Preparation Time: 10 minutes
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 8 pieces of rice paper
• 1 cup of shredded cabbage
• 1 cup of shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup of cooked ground pork
• 1/4 cup of chopped onions
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil spray

Instructions

1. Preheat your Air Fryer to 350°F (180°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, cooked ground pork, chopped onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip a piece of rice paper into the water for about 10 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable.
4. Place the softened rice paper on a flat surface and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable and meat mixture onto the center of the paper.
5. Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to form an egg roll. Repeat with the remaining rice paper and filling.
6. Lightly spray the egg rolls with olive oil spray to achieve a crispier texture.
7. Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch each other to allow for even cooking.
8. Air fry the egg rolls for 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips and Tricks

• For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground pork with firm tofu or mushrooms.
• Ensure that the rice paper is not soaked for too long, as it may become too soft and tear easily.
• Brush the egg rolls with a bit of beaten egg before air frying for an extra golden finish.
