Chef's tips:

• Every model of air fryer is different, so you may have to adjust the cooking time slightly depending on the brand you are using.
• Depending on the size of your egg rolls you may need to adjust the cooking times slightly - mini egg rolls will take less time to cook and full sized egg rolls will take longer.
• Don't overlap the egg rolls when cooking them or they won't cook properly.

How to serve:

• Dip the egg rolls in soy sauce, fish sauce, or plum sauce.
• Garnish them with a little rice oil and green onion.

How to store:

Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

How to reheat:

To reheat egg rolls in an air fryer, preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Then place the egg rolls in the air fryer and cook for 3-4 minutes. Check them at the time and if needed cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are warm inside and crispy on the outside.
