Ingredients

20 pieces
  • 20 thin spring roll wrappers (fresh or thawed)
  • 50 gram glass noodles
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 100 gram grated carrots
  • 300 gram chicken breast (finely chopped, or ground chicken)
  • 1 stock cube (crumbled)
  • 75 gram leeks (thinly sliced)
  • 1½ tbsp kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
  • 75 gram bean sprouts
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Vegetable oil (as needed)
  • Water (for sealing)

Equipment

  • Air fryer

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Thaw the wrappers if necessary. If you're using fresh refrigerated wrappers, you can skip this step.
  • Place the glass noodles in a bowl of warm water and let them soak for approximately 5 minutes. Drain well and cut into shorter pieces using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
  • Heat a little vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the grated ginger and sauté briefly until fragrant. Add the grated carrots and cook for a few minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add the finely chopped or ground chicken, crumbled bouillon cube, and black pepper to taste. Stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Add the sliced leeks and cook briefly. Stir in the ketjap manis and season with additional black pepper if needed.
  • Stir the glass noodles and bean sprouts into the chicken mixture. The bean sprouts should retain a little crunch. Remove the wok from the heat and allow the filling to cool.
  • Mix the flour with a little water until you have a thick, glue-like paste.
  • Place one wrapper on a clean work surface with a corner pointing toward you. Add approximately 1–2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling and roll halfway up. Fold both sides inward, then continue rolling tightly. Brush a little flour paste onto the final corner to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Cover unused wrappers with plastic wrap while assembling the egg rolls to prevent them from drying out.
  • Lightly brush the egg rolls with vegetable oil. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Enjoy your homemade crispy egg rolls while they're hot, preferably with sweet chili sauce!
