Instructions
Filling:
Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook pork until no longer pink and cooked through. Break the meat into small pieces as you cook with the back of your spoon.
Place cooked pork on a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan and return to medium heat.
Add green onions and carrots, and cook until they begin to soften -- about 2 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant -- about 2 more minutes.
Add chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, and cabbage. Stir to combine. Bring contents of the pan to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, or until the veggies have softened to your liking.
Remove pan from heat and stir in the sesame oil and pork.
Cooking + Assembly:
Grab a bowl of water and set it at the top of your rolling station.
Lay an egg roll wraper down on a clean surface, with a point facing you.
Add 2 tablespoons of filling to the center of each roll.
Fold the corner closest to you over the filling, then dip your fingers in the bowl of water and brush the corner of the wrapper that's folded over the meat.
Fold the side pieces in toward the center.
Tightly roll toward the open corner. Brush the tip of that corner with water before closing the egg roll.
Continue until you've used all the filling and wrappers.
Spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and lay them on the provided tray of the air fryer in a single, non-touching layer.
