- Ground pork – 1 lb (450 g)
- Cabbage – 2 cups, finely shredded
- Carrots – 1 cup, grated
- Green onions – 1/2 cup, chopped
- Soy sauce – 2 tablespoons
- Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
- Ginger – 1 tablespoon, grated
- Sesame oil – 1 tablespoon
- Egg roll wrappers – 10-12 pieces
- Salt and pepper – to taste
- Begin by preparing the filling: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the ground pork. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Add the finely shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
- Mix in the soy sauce and sesame oil into the filling. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, add about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center, and roll the wrappers tightly, folding in the sides.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the remaining egg rolls.
- Lightly spray or brush the egg rolls with oil to achieve a golden color. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- Once they are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool briefly before serving.

Keywords: Avoid overfilling the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting while frying. You can substitute ground pork with ground beef or chicken for different flavors, and try adding chili or Sriracha for a spicy kick.
