How to make Crispy Chicken & Cabbage Spring Rolls (Baked/Air-fried)

1. Prepare your vegetables by shredding 2 cups of green cabbage and 1 cup of carrots. Finely dice 1/2 red bell pepper, grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger, and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the 1 pound of ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
3. Add the grated ginger, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the cooked chicken. Sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant, then add the shredded cabbage and carrots. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.
4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper into the chicken and vegetable mixture. Mix well to combine all ingredients. Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, making it easier to handle.
5. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Place about 2 tablespoons of the cooled chicken and vegetable filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
6. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Then, fold in the left and right corners towards the center, creating an envelope shape.
7. Roll the wrapper tightly upwards from the bottom, sealing the edges by dabbing a little water onto the top corner of the wrapper to secure it. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers.
8. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly grease your air fryer basket.
9. Arrange the rolled spring rolls on the prepared baking sheet or in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Lightly spray the tops of the spring rolls with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Continue cooking until the spring rolls are golden brown and crispy.
11. Carefully remove the crispy spring rolls from the oven or air fryer. Serve them hot with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
