Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 spring roll wrappers
- 1/2 lb ground pork or chicken
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Cooking and Dipping:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Combine ground meat, minced garlic, cabbage, and carrots in a mixing bowl, blending ingredients thoroughly.
- Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Lay a spring roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface, placing the filling near one corner.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then tuck and roll tightly, ensuring a compact seal.
- Crimp the sides inward to prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Brush each roll with vegetable oil to promote crispy exterior.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F and arrange rolls in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even golden-brown coloration.
- Remove rolls when they turn crisp and develop a beautiful golden exterior.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning and allow filling to set.
- Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce for dipping, enjoying the warm, crunchy texture.
Notes
- Prevent filling leakage by rolling spring rolls tightly and sealing edges carefully to maintain structural integrity during air frying.
- Create vegetarian alternatives by replacing ground meat with tofu, mushrooms, or additional mixed vegetables for diverse dietary preferences.
- Ensure even cooking by lightly spraying or brushing rolls with oil, which helps achieve crispy exterior without excess grease accumulation.
- Experiment with different protein options like shredded chicken, shrimp, or plant-based substitutes to customize flavor profiles and nutritional content.
