  • 2 Tablespoon vegetable oil Used for sautéing the filling; can substitute with coconut oil.
  • 1/2 Teaspoon minced garlic Adds aromatic depth; fresh garlic is preferred.

  • 1 Teaspoon toasted sesame oil Adds nutty richness; can be omitted if unavailable.
  • 1 Tablespoon sriracha Adjust spice level to taste; other hot sauces can be used.
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions For freshness; red onions can work as a substitute.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant and golden.
  2. Add the finely chopped celery, stirring for two minutes until it softens slightly. Incorporate the coleslaw mix and cook until the cabbage wilts, about three minutes.
  3. Next, add the ground chicken and cook until it's done, about 3 to 4 minutes. Incorporate oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha, stirring well. Cook until the mixture is dry, then fold in the green onions.
Wrapping and Cooking
  1. Take an egg roll wrapper, position one corner toward you. Place a tablespoon of filling along the bottom, fold the corner over, tuck in the sides, and roll forward until sealed. Use water or a beaten egg to secure the edges.
  2. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray, arrange the egg rolls in a single layer, spray the tops with olive oil, and cook at 400°F for 6 minutes.
  3. Flip the egg rolls, spray again, and cook for an additional 6 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Avoid overfilling the egg rolls to prevent leaks. Seal edges properly to ensure no filling escapes during cooking. Always preheat your air fryer for best results.
