Nothing beats the crunch from a good fried egg roll, but this shortcut Toshiba air fryer egg rolls recipe comes pretty close—and it's all thanks to the Toshiba air fryer. Instead of submerging the egg rolls in bubbling oil, brush them with a light coating of oil before letting your air fryer crisp them to perfection. While not traditional, it's an easy and fun method that produces irresistible results.
How long do you need to cook egg rolls in the Toshiba air fryer?
There are a lot of factors at play: The size of your egg rolls, the type of air fryer you have, and how many egg rolls are in the basket can all make a big difference when it comes to cooking time. For this recipe, a batch of egg rolls will need 9 to 10 minutes at 360°F. For the crispiest results, make sure to leave room between the egg rolls in the basket to allow the air to properly circulate around them.
Ingredients for Toshiba air fryer egg rolls
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 lb. ground pork
4 c. Coleslaw mix
1/2 c. matchstick-cut carrots
1 tsp. freshly grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 green onions, sliced
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. rice vinegar
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/8 tsp. Chinese 5-spice seasoning
12 egg roll wrappers
Nonstick cooking spray
1 tbsp. olive oil
Sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or hot mustard sauce, for dipping
Directions
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and cook until crumbled and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the coleslaw mix, carrots, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cabbage has wilted. Remove from the heat; stir in the green onions, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, salt, and 5-spice seasoning. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly.
Place 1 egg roll wrapper on a dry work surface with the points of the wrapper facing up and down (like a diamond). Place about 1/3 cup of the pork mixture in the middle of the wrapper. Dip your fingers in water and dampen the edges of the wrapper. Fold the left then right points of the wrapper in toward the center. Fold the bottom point over the center. Roll toward the remaining point to form a tight cylinder. Press edges to seal. Place on a plate and cover with a dry towel. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and pork mixture.
Preheat the air fryer to 360°, if required. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Brush the tops of the egg rolls with olive oil. Working in 3 batches (4 at a time), place the egg rolls in the basket and cook for 7 minutes. Flip the egg rolls over and brush with more oil. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Serve with the dipping sauce of your choice.
