Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Thai
Serves: 8 egg rolls
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup Thai peanut sauce
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, coleslaw mix, Thai peanut sauce, minced ginger, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed.
- Prepare a clean, flat work surface and lay out the egg roll wrappers. Keep a small bowl of water nearby to help seal the edges.
- Place one egg roll wrapper diagonally on the work surface. Spoon approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the lower third of the wrapper, keeping the filling compact.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the filling, then fold in the side corners. Roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the top corner with a small amount of water to secure the egg roll.
- Repeat the rolling process with remaining wrappers and filling, ensuring each egg roll is tightly sealed.
- Lightly brush each egg roll with olive oil, ensuring even coverage to promote crispy browning.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the egg rolls are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove from air fryer and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with additional Thai peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Tips
- Keep your egg roll wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out while preparing.
- Don't overfill the wrappers - this can cause them to burst during cooking.
- Ensure the egg rolls are not touching in the air fryer basket for maximum crispiness.
- Use a pastry brush for even oil distribution to achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- If your air fryer tends to cook quickly, check the egg rolls a bit earlier to prevent burning.
- Let the egg rolls rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different dipping sauces like sweet chili or sriracha mayo.
