Fry filling dry
Visible liquid softens the shell. Fry vegetables until the bottom of the pan is dry again.
White cabbage, carrot, mushrooms and glass noodles are briefly fried before rolling and completely cooled. Thus, the shell does not evaporate.
Why this recipe works
The most important step for air fryer spring rolls is a dry, cold filling as possible. Hot or moist ingredients soften the thin dough leaves and allow seams to burst. Roll tight, but not so firm that the filling cannot extend a millimeter when heated.
Recipe
Homemade spring rolls are crispy in the air fryer with a dry vegetable-glass noodle filling and little oil all around.
Soak the glass noodles according to the package, drain them, dry them and cut them into short pieces with a pair of scissors.
Fry cabbage, carrot and mushrooms in a hot pan for 5 minutes. Fry spring onion, garlic and ginger for 1 minute.
Mix in soy sauce, sesame oil and glass noodles. Fry until no liquid is visible, then let it cool completely.
Mix the starch with water. Place two tablespoons of filling on a dough leaf, strike sides, roll tightly and glue the seam.
Preheat air fryer to 190 °C. Sprinkle rollers all around sparingly with oil and insert with the seam downwards.
Cook in a position for 6 minutes, turn and bake for another 4 to 6 minutes golden brown. Allow to cool briefly and serve with sauce.
Kitchen know-how
Visible liquid softens the shell. Fry vegetables until the bottom of the pan is dry again.
Hot filling produces steam in the dough leaf. Allow to cool completely to room temperature before rolling.
Keep unused leaves under a slightly damp cloth so that the edges do not become brittle.
