    Ingredients

    In my quest for delicious air fryer frozen egg rolls in the air fryer, I came across this brand. These are really good. These are not soggy egg roll wrappers with mushy vegetables inside.

    Chungs eggrolls are located in the freezer section of your local market. These are GOOD. Sometimes they are in the specialty frozen foods section. I found them at Publix.

    I am going to show you my method for cooking frozen eggrolls and it is easy. In less than 15 minutes you can have perfectly crispy eggrolls with a delicious dipping sauce. These eggrolls are great to have around as a side for takeout Chinese.

    These eggrolls pair great with my Instant Pot Chicken Lo Mein as well.

    I like to make these eggrolls on game day when I have guests. I usually will throw together some appetizers that people can just grab and enjoy. I like items that are simple to make without creating a mess.

    Instructions

    I am going to show you step by step how to cook frozen eggrolls in your air fryer. I even show you step by step how to make my dipping sauce that uses common Asian ingredients.

    Making Dipping Sauce for Eggrolls

    Step 1 – Asian fish sauce is the base ingredient for making my eggroll dipping sauce. In a small bowl add 1-2 Tablespoons of Asian Fish Sauce.

    Step one adding fish sauce to bowl to create dipping sauce for frozen eggrolls
    Asian fish sauce is loaded with flavor and saltiness. It will make a great bass for a dipping sauce for the frozen eggrolls.

    Step 2 – Adding some water to the Fish Sauce to cut the saltiness and increase the liquid. 2 Tablespoons is enough water.

    step 2 adding water to the eggroll dipping sauce
    Adding a couple of tablespoons of water to the fish sauce cuts the saltiness and makes it a little bit smoother.

    Step 3 – Add some sugar to the eggroll dipping sauce to balance the saltiness with some sweetness. I find 2 teaspoons is a good amount.

    Step 3 Adding Sugar to dipping sauce for eggrolls
    Adding a little sugar does a good job and balancing the saltiness of the fish sauce. 1 to 2 teaspoons should do the trick

    Hint:Preheating the air fryer before cooking these eggrolls is not necessary.

    How to Cook Frozen Eggrolls in Air Fryer

    The process to cook frozen egg rolls is simple. Follow my step by step instructions.

    No Need to spray anything on the eggrolls at all.

    Step 4 – Place frozen egg rolls in basket of air fryer in single layer. Do NOT spray the eggrolls with oil. If the air fryer basket is not non stick then spray it with some oil or cooking spray.

    Step 5 – Cook the Frozen Egg Rolls at 400 Degrees Fahrenheit for a total cooking time of 10 minutes.

    Step 6 – Flip Egg Rolls halfway though cooking time for maximum crispiness. I flip them by rolling the egg rolls. Be careful they are hot.

    These eggrolls even have texture to them. The veggies inside are not mush.

    Air Fryer Frozen Egg Rolls Time and Temp

    How long to cook frozen eggrolls in air fryer? I have cooked egg rolls in both a basket style air fryer and an oven style air fryer. How

    Preheat air fryer to 400 Degrees Fahrenheit. Place egg rolls in the air fryer basket. Cook egg rolls 10-12 minutes. If cooking in oven style air fryer cooking time is 12-15 minutes.

    When the egg rolls are done cooking I like to place them on a paper towel. The paper towel absorb any residual grease that may be present.

    Substitutions

    If you do not have the fish sauce to make the dipping sauce you can make a dipping sauce that is even more simple. Mix together Soy Sauce and some Sesame Oil. If you have Rice Vinegar add a teaspoon. Toss in some chopped green onions for presentation.

    Variations

    These instructions can also be used to cook frozen spring rolls. Keep in mind that spring rolls are smaller and will cook more quickly. Decrease cooking time accordingly.

    These egg rolls can easily be made homemade with some frozen egg rolls wrappers and some coleslaw mix with and other vegetables and protein you enjoy.

    Equipment

    Below is the equipment I used and some kitchen essentials that I use often. All air fryer brands are different. Overall wattage of the unit can be different so cooking times can vary by a few minutes depending on your model.
