Ingredients

• 2–4 Pagoda Chicken Egg Rolls (frozen; do not thaw)

• Optional: Light oil spray (for enhanced crispiness)

• Optional: Dipping sauces like sweet chili, soy sauce, or duck sauce

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 390°F for 3–5 minutes. Preheating is key for even browning and crispy texture.

Prepare the Egg Rolls

• Remove egg rolls from all packaging.

• Do not thaw—cook straight from frozen for best results.

• Place egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray, leaving space around each for airflow.

• Lightly spray each egg roll with oil if you prefer a crispier, golden finish.

Air Fry

• Cook at 390°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through to crisp both sides evenly.

• At the 5–6 minute mark, turn the egg rolls using tongs.

• Continue cooking until the wrapper is golden brown and slightly blistered.

Check for Doneness

• Wrappers should be crisp and golden, not soggy.

• Filling should be steaming hot with no cold spots.

• Confirm an internal temperature of 165°F using a food thermometer.

• Let rest for 1–2 minutes before eating—contents will be very hot.

Pro Tips

• Spray lightly with oil before cooking to boost crunch and even browning.

• Serve immediately to maintain the crispy exterior.

• Avoid stacking—cook in batches if necessary for even air circulation.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with:

  • Sweet chili sauce or teriyaki glaze

  • Spicy mustard or plum sauce

  • Garlic sautéed bok choy or Asian slaw

• Create a combo platter:

  • Slice egg rolls diagonally and serve with potstickers

  • Add jasmine rice and sesame veggies for a full meal

  • Chop and toss into a stir-fry or Asian salad for added crunch

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Best texture is retained when reheated in the air fryer.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 375°F for 3–4 minutes until re-crisped

• Microwave: 45–60 seconds (results in a softer wrapper)
