Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 large scallions, chopped
  • 3 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/2 pound large peeled raw shrimp, chopped
  • 6 egg roll wrappers
  • Olive oil spray
  • Sweet chili sauce, duck sauce or spicy mustard for dipping (optional)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Air Fryer or Baking Sheet
  • Cooking Spray
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped scallions, chopped green cabbage, shredded carrots, reduced sodium soy sauce, unseasoned rice vinegar, and chopped shrimp. Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one point facing you. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the shrimp filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up tightly and seal the top corner with a little water.
  3. For the air fryer, preheat it to 380°F (193°C). Lightly spray the egg rolls with olive oil spray to help them crisp up. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
  4. If you prefer to bake, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the egg rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray them lightly with olive oil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden.
  5. Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the air fryer or oven. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Pair with your choice of dipping sauce—sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or spicy mustard work wonderfully.

Notes

  • Fresh shrimp works best, but you can use frozen shrimp—just ensure they're thawed and drained well.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetable filling based on what you have on hand. Other great options include bean sprouts, bok choy, or zucchini.
  • For gluten-free alternatives, look for gluten-free egg roll wrappers or rice paper.
