Description
Deliciously crispy air fryer spring rolls filled with savory ground chicken, earthy mushrooms, and sweet vegetables, served with a tangy soy-vinegar dip.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 oz mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 lb ground chicken (93% lean recommended)
- 1 ½ cups shredded green cabbage
- 1 ½ cups shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp cornstarch, mixed with 1–2 tbsp water to make a slurry
- 12–15 spring roll wrappers (rice or wheat-based)
- Pinch of cornstarch mixed with water (for sealing the wrappers)
- Avocado oil spray (or light olive oil spray)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and 4 oz finely chopped mushrooms. Sauté for 4–6 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and most of their moisture has evaporated.
- Add 1 lb ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix in 1 ½ cups shredded green cabbage, 1 ½ cups shredded carrots, and 2 thinly sliced green onions. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables soften but still hold some texture.
- Combine the 1 tsp cornstarch (slurry) with 1–2 tbsp water, then stir it together with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 2 tbsp rice vinegar. Pour into the filling and stir until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Lay a spring roll wrapper flat, place a few tablespoons of filling near one corner, fold the sides in, and roll tightly. Seal the final edge with the pinch of cornstarch mixed with water. Repeat until you have 12–15 rolls.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray each roll with avocado oil spray and air fry for 8–10 minutes until golden, turning halfway through. Serve warm with a simple soy-vinegar dip.
Notes
For best texture, air fry shortly after assembling. Can reheat in the air fryer. Use rice wrappers for a lighter chew or wheat for a flakier texture.
