# What You'll Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 cup shredded cabbage
02 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
03 - ½ cup bean sprouts
04 - 4 green onions, thinly sliced
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
→ Seasoning
07 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
08 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
09 - ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Wrapping
10 - 12 spring roll wrappers (8-inch, thawed if frozen)
11 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for sealing)
→ Cooking
12 - Olive or vegetable oil spray
→ Dipping Sauce
13 - 3 tablespoons soy sauce
14 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
15 - 1 teaspoon sugar
16 - ½ teaspoon chili flakes
# Method:
01 - Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant and aromatic.
02 - Add shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and sliced green onions to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Stir in bean sprouts, soy sauce, and black pepper. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow filling to cool completely.
03 - Position a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Place 2 tablespoons of cooled filling near the bottom corner. Fold the corner over filling, roll halfway, fold in both sides tightly, and continue rolling to the top edge. Brush final edge with cornstarch slurry to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
04 - Preheat air fryer to 390°F for optimal crisping.
05 - Lightly coat all sides of spring rolls with oil spray. Arrange in a single layer within the air fryer basket, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
06 - Air fry for 7–8 minutes, carefully flip each roll, then continue air frying for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and crispy throughout.
07 - Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili flakes in a small bowl until sugar completely dissolves.
08 - Serve spring rolls immediately while hot and crispy, accompanied by the prepared dipping sauce.
# Insider Tips:
01 -
- The air fryer gives you that satisfying crunch without the mess of deep frying
- They come together faster than delivery and taste infinitely better
02 -
- Cooling the filling completely is the difference between perfect rolls and bursting wrappers
- Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel or they will crack and split
03 -
- Spray the oil lightly and evenly for even browning without sogginess
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or they will steam instead of crisp
