Ingredients
  

Frozen Egg Rolls

  • One box of Chungs or any other company's Frozen Egg Rolls is very basic for this recipe. You can grab a package or more from the supermarket in your city. If you buy extra packages you can keep them in your refrigerator for as long as you want.

Non-Stick Cooking Spray or Olive Oil Spray

  • I prefer to use the olive oil spray as it is considered healthy. This oil spray is used for greasing purposes to prevent the rolls from drying out. Moreover it also prevents the sticking of food or burning during the process of air frying. In case you want to avoid oil, then use some type of good quality nonstick cooking spray.

For the Dipping Sauce

  • The dipping sauce can be easily made at home by combining a few ingredients and the efforts are worth it. The sauce turns out to be great in both the flavor and consistency. You can even store it in the refrigerator for a week to have it later with the leftovers and even with the other snacks.

Fish Sauce

  • Two tablespoons of the fish sauce are good enough to make the delicious dipping sauce at home. Fish sauce is a delicious sauce and is used in several recipes worldwide.

Water

  • To adjust the consistency of the dipping sauce two tablespoons of water are required.

Sugar

  • Sugar perfectly compliments the taste of the dipping sauce and therefore you should add two tablespoons to the mixture. The sweet flavor in the dipping sauce is a must and for this purpose, we have added sugar. you can also add some honey or any other sweetener.

Red Chili Pepper

  • One-fourth tablespoon of red chilli pepper is good enough to add some spice to the dipping sauce. One can adjust the quantity of the red chilli pepper depending upon his liking and spice tolerance.

Steps to Make the Yummiest Air Fryer Frozen Egg Rolls

  • The Frozen air fryer egg rolls turn out to be crispy enough in every bite that you can feel the crunch to the core. The crunchy bites from the outside while the soft juicy stuffing on the inside makes them a favorite meal for everyone. Follow all the mentioned steps to get the egg rolls perfectly fried in the required shape and texture.

Stuffing the Air Fryer Basket

  • Use the oil spray to grease the air fryer basket and then spread the frozen egg rolls in the basket but in a single layer with a little space between them.

Adjusting the Time and Temperature

  • The time required for cooking the frozen egg rolls in the air fryer should be 10-12 minutes at least. This time period is enough when the temperature of the air fryer is at 400 Degrees. But you should not forget the preheating of the air fryer at the same temperature for one to two minutes.

Cooking the Frozen Egg Rolls

  • Turn on the start button and start cooking the egg rolls. Make sure to flip the egg rolls after half the time. This helps to transfer the hot air to both sides evenly to get the perfect texture and uniform color of your egg rolls.
  • Use the spatula or tongs to flip the egg rolls.

Making the Dipping Sauce

  • To make the dipping sauce you have to combine all the ingredients one by one. For this purpose, take a medium-sized mixing bowl and pour the fish sauce into it for the first time.

Addition of Water

  • Bring two tablespoons of water and add it to the mixing bowl along with the fish sauce. Use a spoon to mix the two ingredients well together.

Addition of Sugar

  • Two tablespoons of sugar will be good enough to flavor the dipping sauce. Blend well to dissolve the sugar in the sauce so that it will sweeten the flavor of the sauce.

Adding a Little Quantity of Red Chili Pepper

  • Bring one-fourth tablespoon of the red chilli pepper and then blend well again. This is the last ingredient for the dipping sauce and as a result, your dipping sauce is ready to serve.

Serving the Air Fried Egg Rolls With the Dipping Sauce

  • Put the cooked egg rolls on the serving platter and serve them while hot after pairing them with the delicious dipping sauce that you made at home.

Notes

Substitutions and Variations in the Recipe

If you do not have oil spray or cooking spray, you can use melted butter and brush it on the rolls before cooking.
Moreover, if the fish sauce is not available, then try to mix the soy sauce with the sesame oil to make another delicious dip. Rice vinegar is also added in this sauce along with some chopped green onions.
Frozen spring rolls can also be cooked in the same way as you cook frozen egg rolls. However, the spring rolls will take less time to cook because of the thin wrapping.
You can simply prepare the egg rolls at home by preparing the coleslaw stuffing and using the ready-made wraps. The rolls are then dipped in the egg wash and the bread crumbs for the final coatings.
You can store the egg rolls in the airtight containers for 3-4 days and that too in the refrigerator.
