- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork (or your chosen protein) and cook until browned. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Remove excess fat if necessary. Add the garlic, ginger, and onion to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Cook until the cabbage is wilted and the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of beaten egg.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Cook the Egg Rolls:
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the egg rolls with cooking spray or brush them with a small amount of oil.
- Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy your crispy, delicious air fryer egg rolls!
