1
Chop the green onions into small pieces and peel the garlic cloves. Either mince the garlic finely or press it through a garlic press for speed.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and break it up with a wooden spoon, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes until the meat is well browned with only a few pink pieces remaining.
3
Add 3 cups of coleslaw mix (or shredded cabbage mixed with grated carrot), the chopped green onions, garlic, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger to the cooked meat. Stir to combine and cook for about 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4
Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil. You can optionally add red pepper flakes, Chinese five spice, or black pepper for extra flavor. Let the filling cool for a minute or two before using.
5
Keep the egg roll wrappers covered with a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out. Brush two opposite edges of each wrapper lightly with water using a pastry brush. Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper.
6
Bring the two corners that have been brushed with water toward the center, then fold up the dry end. Roll the wrapper tightly from the bottom, being careful not to overfill. Place each finished roll on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7
Repeat the rolling process with the remaining wrappers and filling, making sure not to accidentally double up any wrappers. Spray the tops of all the rolls generously with oil or cooking spray to ensure they become golden and crispy on both sides.
8
Place the rolls in the air fryer basket with the oiled side down, making sure to leave space between each roll so air can circulate properly. Spray the tops of the rolls with oil again.
9
Air fry at 350°F for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, carefully flip each roll over, spray the newly exposed side with oil, and air fry for another 5 minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.
10
Remove the egg rolls from the air fryer while they are still warm. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
