I stole this recipe for Air Fryer Egg Rolls from therecipecritic.com. Using an air-fryer makes the egg rolls crispy without having to deep fry them. First the filling is started with coleslaw mix, garlic and ginger being stir fried together. Then shrimp is added with oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha. Next the egg rolls are assembled using egg roll wrappers. The assembled egg rolls are placed in the basket of an air fryer and sprayed with cooking spray. After cooking for 6 minutes, the egg rolls are flipped and cooked an additional 6 minutes.

Did you know? Egg rolls are a small, stuffed Chinese pastry usually served as an appetizer. Paper-thin pastry wrappers are folded around a savory filling of minced or shredded vegetables and sometimes meat, then folded and rolled before being deep-fried.¹ (see more trivia in the Trivia tab)

Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan and stir fry ½ tsp minced garlic, ½ tsp minced ginger, ½ cup finely chopped celery until fragrant. Then add 2 cups coleslaw mix and cook until the cabbage is wilted.

Next add ½ lb chopped shrimp, 3 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce,1 tsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp sriracha.

Stir fry the shrimp while breaking it up for 3-4 minutes.

Once the shrimp is cooked and there is no liquid left in the pan, stir in ½ cup chopped green onions and remove from the stove.

To wrap the egg rolls, place the egg roll wrapper so that one corner is towards you. Place a tablespoon of filling in the bottom half (towards you).

Then wrap the corner over the filling, turn both sides over the wrapper and then continue rolling away from you like a burrito. Seal the edges with water or a beaten egg. Repeat until all of the rolls are made.

Spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray. Place the egg rolls in the basket and lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.

Cook at 400 F for 6 minutes.

Then flip the egg rolls and cook for an additional 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining egg rolls.

Serve warm and enjoy!
