→ Assembly
11 -
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
12 -
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
13 -
8-12 spring roll wrappers (wheat-based, square, let them thaw if frozen)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss 2 tablespoons oil in a big skillet on medium. Once it's hot, dump in the napa cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, and chopped mushrooms. Keep stirring for a couple minutes—just enough to get everything tender, not mushy.
02 -
Now chuck in the green onions, that starchy water blend, sugar, salt, and pepper. Give it a stir and cook for 1-2 minutes more. The veggies should be soft but still snappy. Move the mix off the heat and let it cool down.
03 -
Take a wrapper and lay it like a diamond in front of you. Dab the top tip with the cornstarch-water mix. Put about 3 spoonfuls of the filling in the center. Fold up the bottom, then tuck both sides in tight, and roll it all up. Stick the edge down with a bit more of that glue. Do the same with the rest until you’re out of wrappers or filling.
04 -
Turn your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and let it heat up for about 3 minutes.
05 -
Brush a little oil over each roll—don’t forget any spots. Place rolls in the air fryer basket so none touch. If they don’t all fit, do more than one round.
06 -
Let them air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 12 to 15 minutes. Flip each roll about halfway so both sides brown up. When they’re all golden and crunchy, pull them out and enjoy with a dipping sauce you like.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
You’ll find spring roll wrappers in the frozen aisle at most Asian grocery stores—these need to be wheat-based and square. If you’re out of luck, egg roll wrappers work too. Don’t grab rice paper here.
02 -
Preheating your air fryer makes a big difference. For crunch, always brush your rolls with oil before frying.
03 -
Want to add meat? Just mix in some cooked ground pork or shredded chicken with your filling.
