Shrimp Egg Rolls (Air Fryer or Baked)
Simple shrimp egg rolls that are full of shrimp in every mouthful and healthier than my favourite Chinese takeout. Baked or air-fried!
Ingredients:
- One tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
- one teaspoon of grated ginger
- three minced garlic cloves
- two big chopped scallions
- Three cups of chopped green cabbage
- two cups of shredded carrots
- two teaspoons of soy sauce with lower sodium content
- one tablespoon of unseasoned rice vinegar
- half a pound of big, skinned, uncooked prawns, chopped
- Six egg roll liners
- Spray with olive oil
- For dipping, use sweet chilli sauce, duck sauce, or hot mustard (optional).
Method:
- Sesame oil should be heated over medium-high heat in a big skillet. Add the shrimp and simmer for one to two minutes, or until the shrimp are almost cooked through.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until aromatic. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, and carrots.
- Cook for two to three minutes over high heat, or until veggies are crisp and tender. To drain and allow to cool, transfer to a colander.
- Place each egg roll wrapper individually, points pointing up and down like a diamond, on a spotless surface. Transfer a quarter of the mixture onto the lower part of the wrapper.
- Run your finger over the edges of the wrapper after dipping it into a small basin of water. Elevate the spot closest to you and encircle the filling.
- Roll into a tight cylinder by folding the left and right corners in towards the centre. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, setting aside.
- Using your fingers, evenly cover both sides of the egg rolls with oil.
Cook at 370°F for five to seven minutes in batches, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
If preferred, serve right away with dipping sauce on the side.
oven Method:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Stuff and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until brown on both sides.
