Air Fryer Egg Rolls
Who doesn’t like egg rolls!? They’re such an easy snack to make for most dietary restrictions. Veggie, tofu, meat or seafood can be stuffed into these suckers. Per the usual, I pulled out the air fryer for a healthier take on this dish, but you can bake or oil fry this recipe as well! Get ready to dig in, these are addictive!
Crispy and addicting without the heavy oil!
Most of the ingredients are easy to prepare or already prepped!
Prep the chicken first, you want a good crunchy crust so start in the pan and transfer to the air fryer.
Next, build the filling by mixing the sauce with all the fresh, raw veggies; then add the chopped chicken.
Next, stuff and wrap!
Lightly spray with oil, and air fry for 6 min per side @ 400º - or - bake for 20 MIN @ 350º - or - oil fry until golden brown

Ingredients
1 Chicken Breast
3-5 Mushrooms, diced
1/2 Bell Pepper, diced
3-4 Green Onion sprigs, chopped
3 Cloves garlic, chopped
1 Whole Baby Bok Choy, diced
1 Cup Shredded Cabbage
1 Carrot, diced
1 Cup Hoisin Sauce
2 TSP Oyester or Fish Sauce
2 TBS Sesame Seeds
2 TBS Sesame Oil
Salt + Pepper to taste
1 Package Egg Roll Wraps
2 TBS Water
Dipping Sauce Suggestion: Soy Sauce, Sweet & Sour or Sweet Chili
Instructions
1. Prep the chicken by flattening it out with a meat tenderizer. Salt and pepper each side, then brush 1-2 TBS hoisin sauce on each side. Coat with sesame seeds and get a skillet pan hot.
2. Add a little of the sesame oil into the pan, sear each side of the chicken breast for about 1 minute each side. Immediately add to the air fryer and cook for 15 minutes (turning it over halfway) @ 400º. (If not using an air fryer, skip the sesame seeds and just reduce the heat and cover for 10-15 min or until cooked through).
3. While chicken cooks, prep the veggies, being sure to dice everything as small as possible (the same size for each ingredient) and add them into a large mixing bowl.
4. Add the remaining hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and a little more sesame oil and mix.
5. Get your workspace ready to wrap the eggrolls. It should be clean and dry. Put 2 TBS water into a small bowl and set the egg roll wrap in a diamond setting.
6. Add around 1 TBS of filling towards the bottom corner of the wrap, then fold the corner up. Continue by folding the left and right corners over, then rolling the wrap up towards the top corner, keeping the edges turned in and secure. Dip your finger into the water and add a little moisture to the remaining top corner, seal it by rolling all the way up. (see photos)
7. Once you complete as many as you’re wanting to make, lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil spray, then place each egg roll gently into the bottom of your air fryer. Spray the tops again with cooking spray, and if you have a rack, do the same for the top rack. (If you are using an oven, preheat to 350º.)
8. Air fry for 6 minutes per side, so a total of 12 min @ 400º (If you are using an oven, bake on a lined or oiled sheet pan for 20 MIN @ 350º - if you are oil frying, cook until golden.)
9. Once cooked, remove and let cool for a bit before serving, You can expedite this by cutting them in half to cool faster. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and white rice. Enjoy!
Yum!
