Ingredients
CHICKEN VEGETABLE EGG ROLLS
1pound(454g)ground chicken (or pork, beef) *see head note
Cook the filling: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then add the garlic and optional ginger. Cook for about 1 minute or until lightly browned. Add the ground chicken, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the chicken is lightly browned.
Add the veggies: cabbage, carrots, and green onions. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the vegetables soften. Stir in the egg and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat, place the cooked filling in a colander to drain excess juices and allow to cool.
Make the Hoisin-Peanut Dip
Make the dip while the chicken filling is cooling. In bowl, combine all ingredients (hoisin, peanut butter, hot sauce, sesame oil, water, and vinegar) and whisk together. If you are making a very large batch, you can use a blender by blending all the ingredients together. But make sure you add enough water because some brands of hoisin are very thick.
How to Roll and Air Fry
Using egg roll wrappers or spring roll wrappers, add about 1-2 Tablespoons of chicken filling to each wrapper (depending on the size of the wrapper) Tuck and roll the wrapper around the filling (watch the video and look at the photos in the post above to see how to roll even and tight rolls).
Brush the top corner of the wrapper with water or beaten egg to help seal the wrapper end, and then finish rolling the egg roll. Repeat for all the egg rolls. Brush or spray rolls with oil to coat
Air Fry at 380°F/195°C for 8 minutes. Flip the egg rolls. If they look dry, spray the egg rolls with oil again.
Continue air frying for 6 minutes or until the wrapper is crispy and browned. If needed add another 1-2 minutes. If you use the larger wrapper cook a little longer so that all the layers can cook through to avoid being tough and chewy.
Serve warm with hoisin-peanut dip. You can also wrap these chicken vegetable egg rolls in lettuce and eat them as lettuce egg roll wraps!
