Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 1/2 pound ground chicken Can substitute with beef, turkey, or crumbled firm tofu.
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce Can substitute with hoisin or additional soy sauce with a pinch of sugar.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Wrappers and Sprays
  • 12 pieces egg roll wrappers Buy fresh and use before expiration date.

Method
 

Preparing the Filling
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger, and celery; stir fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add coleslaw mix and cook until the cabbage wilts.
  3. Stir in ground chicken. Break it up and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until no longer pink.
  4. Add oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Cook, stirring, until the liquid evaporates and the mixture looks glossy.
  5. Stir in green onions. Transfer filling to a bowl and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
Assembling the Egg Rolls
  1. Place a wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you like a diamond.
  2. Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons filling onto the bottom half.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling and fold in both side corners to snugly enclose the filling.
  4. Roll tightly away from you to the top corner and brush the final edge with water or beaten egg to seal.
  5. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
Air Frying Instructions
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  2. Lightly spray the basket with olive oil spray.
  3. Arrange egg rolls in a single layer with space between them. Do not overcrowd.
  4. Lightly mist the tops with olive oil.
  5. Air fry for 6 minutes, flip, and spray again.
  6. Air fry for another 6 minutes until deeply golden and crisp, adding 1 to 2 minutes if you prefer extra crunch.

Notes

Seal tightly and pinch the corners to prevent leaking. Keep unused wrappers under a damp towel to prevent cracking. Adjust cooking time based on air fryer model and wrapper thickness.
