It’s a perfect snack, appetizer, or side dish that tastes deep-fried, but with less oil and mess.

Ingredients

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

• Optional: Light oil spray (for enhanced crispness)

• Optional: Sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or hot mustard for dipping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 390°F for 3–5 minutes. This helps ensure the wrapper crisps up evenly from the start.

Prepare the Egg Rolls

• Remove egg rolls from all packaging.

• Do not thaw—cook directly from frozen.

• Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spacing them apart to allow hot air to circulate.

• Optionally, lightly spray each egg roll with oil to help achieve an ultra-crispy finish.

Air Fry

• Cook at 390°F for 10–12 minutes, turning once at the halfway point (around 5–6 minutes).

• Check for golden brown, blistered wrappers and bubbling edges.

• Add 1–2 minutes more if needed for extra crispness, depending on your air fryer model.

Check for Doneness

• The exterior should be crisp and deep golden brown.

• The filling should be fully hot with no cold spots—use a food thermometer to confirm it reaches 165°F internally.

• Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving to avoid steam burns from the filling.

Pro Tips

• Use perforated parchment paper if you're concerned about sticking, but avoid foil—it can block airflow.

• Serve immediately for maximum crunch—egg rolls soften if left to sit.

• Want more crisp? After flipping, increase temp to 400°F for the final 2 minutes.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with:

  • Sweet chili dipping sauce

  • Soy sauce and wasabi

  • Garlic edamame or stir-fried veggies

• Make it a meal:

  • Slice into thirds and serve over jasmine rice

  • Add to an Asian-style salad bowl with slaw and sesame dressing

  • Pair with miso soup and potstickers for an appetizer trio

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Do not store in original paper packaging after cooking.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 375°F for 4–5 minutes to restore crunch

• Microwave: 45–60 seconds (softens the wrapper)

FAQs

Do I need to use oil spray?

No, but a light spray enhances crispness and helps with golden color.

Can I cook more than four at once?

Yes—if your air fryer is large enough to space them apart. Avoid stacking or crowding.

Are these spicy?

No, they’re mildly seasoned with garlic, onion, and soy—not spicy. Great for all spice levels.
