# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Slide the spring rolls into your air fryer at 400°F (204°C) for 12-15 minutes. Flip them over halfway through so both sides get crunchy and golden. They’re best eaten hot, so dig in right away with your favorite dip.
02 -
Use a bit of oil to brush over all the spring rolls. Place them in the air fryer basket without crowding—just about half an inch apart. If you can’t fit them all, cook in batches.
03 -
Give your air fryer 3 minutes to heat up to 400°F (204°C) before adding anything.
04 -
Take a wrapper and place it flat with one corner pointing at you. Pop a few tablespoons of filling in the middle. Fold the bottom tip over, fold the sides in, and roll all the way up. Wet the top corner with a bit of cornstarch slurry to close it. Use more slurry on the edge if it won't stick. Do this until you use up the filling and wrappers.
05 -
Toss in the green onion, your cornstarch-water mix, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir things around and leave it to cook for about one or two more minutes. Take it off the heat; it’s ready for wrapping.
06 -
Start by heating up 2 tablespoons oil in a big frying pan on medium. As soon as the oil’s hot, throw in the napa cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot, and mushroom. Stir things a lot. Cook about two or three minutes, or until things soften up a bit.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You'll find spring roll wrappers in the freezer aisle of Asian grocery stores. Go for the wheat, square kind when you can. If necessary, egg roll wrappers will do. Avoid using rice paper here—it won’t work quite right.
02 -
Let that air fryer heat all the way before cooking. Oiling the wrappers makes the outside extra crisp.
03 -
Mix in cooked ground pork or shredded chicken if you want to add meat.
