The egg rolls will be easier to handle if you let the filling cool for 5 minutes.
To roll the egg rolls position an egg roll wrapper on a cutting board with one corner towards you.
8 egg roll wrappers
Put 1/4 cup of filling in the top of the wrapper. Fold the top corner over the filling and fold in the sides. Roll the egg roll wrapper down, folding in the sides as you go. Put a little bit of water on the bottom corner of the wrapper before you roll it all the way up to help it seal.
Continue to roll the egg rolls until all the filling is gone.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 2-3 minutes. I rarely preheat my air fryer, but I do for egg rolls.
Put the egg rolls in an air fryer basket and spray the egg rolls lightly with cooking spray if desired. This will ensure even browning of the egg rolls.
1 Tablespoon cooking oil
Cook the egg rolls in a preheated air fryer at 400 F for 6-8 minutes, flipping once with tongs half way through.
If they aren't quite brown enough put them back in for a another few minutes.
Serve with more sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
Notes
Preheat your air fryer for this recipe, it makes a difference.
Don't over fill the egg rolls.
Don't over fill the air fryer basket.
If you don't have an air fryer you can bake in a preheated oven at 400F for 15-20 minutes.
