Wrapping the Egg Rolls
- Immerse a rice paper wrapper in the water mixture so that the entire wrapper is wet.
- Different wrappers require different techniques. The one I use is shown on the wrapper reverse side.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of filling the center of the wrapper. Roll from bottom corner over filling, folding in the sides as you roll.
- Once completed, place 12 rolls in the Air Fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 400°F. Shake halfway through to make sure they cook evenly.
- Air Fry until golden brown and server.
- Egg rolls can be frozen for later cooking. Recommend wax paper or parchment paper in zip lock bags.
