1 carrot, about 3½ ounces, shredded (about 1 cup)
1 small celery stalk (about 2 to 2½ ounces), chopped
(about ¹
/
³
cup)
1 medium jalapeño, seeded and cut into julienne
3 ounces white or baby Bella mushrooms, cut in half and sliced
(about 1 heaping cup)
2 green onions, thinly sliced (about ¹
/
³
cup)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped, about 1 teaspoon
1 piece fresh ginger, about 1 to 1½ inches or ½ ounce, finely
chopped (about 2 teaspoons)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
14 egg roll wrappers
Nonstick cooking spray
Vegetable oil for brushing or spraying
“Duck” Sauce
Makes 1 cup
1 cup apricot jam
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce (low sodium)
1. Put oil into a sauté pan and place over medium heat. Once the oil is
hot and shimmers across the pan, add the cabbage, carrot, celery,
jalapeño, mushrooms, green onions, garlic and ginger to the pan.
2. Sauté, while stirring occasionally, until veggies are fragrant and
softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the salt, soy sauce and sesame oil.
4. Place the AirFryer Basket on the Baking Pan and coat liberally with
nonstick cooking spray.
5. Working with one egg roll wrapper at a time, with a small dish of water
by your workspace, add about 3 tablespoons of filling in the center of
the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up and then fold in each corner
from the sides before rolling up from the bottom folded side. Seal the
wrapper with a bit of water and place in the prepared basket. Repeat
with remaining.
6. When all egg rolls are wrapped and placed in the AirFryer Basket,
spray or brush liberally on each side with vegetable oil.
7. Place in the oven in rack position 2. Select AirFry at 350°F for 16
minutes. With 8 minutes left, turn the egg rolls to evenly cook both
sides.
8. While egg rolls are cooking, prepare the duck sauce. Put the apricot
jam, rice vinegar and soy sauce together in a small saucepan. Place
over medium heat until mixture bubbles. Stir together so that the
ingredients are combined and the jam is completely liquid. Remove
from heat.
9. Serve eggrolls with the duck sauce for dipping.
