Ingredients​

For the filling ingredients:​

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups napa cabbage finely shredded
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1 cup carrots finely shredded
  • 1 cup mushrooms finely chopped
  • ½ cup finely sliced green onion
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 ½ tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

For preparing:​

  • 8-12 spring roll wrappers *see notes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 2-3 tablespoon oil

Instructions​

  • Make sure the veggies are finely shredded or chopped.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the napa cabbage, bean sprouts, shredded carrots, and mushrooms. Stir constantly until the vegetables start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.

  • Add green onion, cornstarch mixture, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes. The vegetables should be cooked down while having a slight crunch. Remove the vegetable mixture from the heat and set it aside.

  • Lay out a single spring roll wrapper, oriented in a diamond shape with a corner facing you. Brush some of the second cornstarch slurry mixture along the corner in the top half of the wrapper.

  • Scoop about 3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Do not overfill the wrappers. Fold the lower third of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in both the left and right corners over the filling. It should resemble an envelope at this point.
  • Continue to roll it from the bottom up. Press down along the seam gently to seal, brushing on more of the cornstarch mixture if needed. Repeat until the filling is gone.
  • Preheat air fryer to 200C for 3 minutes.
  • While it preheats, brush each side of the spring rolls with a thin layer of oil and place in a single layer in your air fryer basket, leaving about ½ inch of space between them. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. You can use spray oil if you prefer, but brushing the oil leads to more even coverage and crispiness.
    2-3 tablespoon oil
  • Air fry at 200C for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

Notes​

Wrappers​

You can find frozen spring roll wrappers at most Asian grocery stores. The wrappers are square, made from wheat, and are not the same as the round rice flour wrappers used for uncooked spring rolls. Egg rolls wrappers aren't exactly the same, but can also be used.

Make sure the veggies or other filling ingredients are finely diced or shredded. Add cooked ground pork or shredded chicken if desired.

For best results, always preheat the air fryer for this recipe.

For the crispiest spring rolls, brush the oil on instead of using a spray bottle.
