Makes approximately 12 egg rolls depending on much you like them stuffed

Ingredients:

• Egg roll wrappers

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

• 3 tbs fresh ginger root

• 4 cloves fresh garlic

• ½ cup fresh cilantro

• ¼ teaspoon chili crisp oil*

• ¼ cup fresh green onion (approximately 3 stalks)

• ½ of a red or orange bell pepper

• ½ of a green bell pepper

• Coleslaw mix

• Salt

• Pepper

• Sesame oil

*If you don’t have chili crisp oil, you can just use some chili powder or flakes. But I highly recommend trying chili crisp oil, it holds incredible flavors.

Chicken marinade:

• 1 teaspoon lime juice

• ½ teaspoon fish sauce

• 1 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Marinate chicken at least 1 hour

2. Finely chop ingredients, keeping cilantro and green onion separate

3. Heat skillet with a neutral oil and sauté chicken thighs until fully cooked

4. Remove chicken

5. Cook coleslaw and bell pepper until softened

6. Finely chop chicken and add back into pan along with sesame oil, minced ginger and garlic, cook until garlic and ginger are slightly browned

7. Turn off heat and add chili crisp oil

8. Toss cooked ingredients with cilantro and green onion in a colander

9. Add salt and pepper as desired, I use ¼ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper

10. Put the colander in the fridge with a plate underneath for at least 1 hour. It is important to let the filling dry out like this so that the egg roll wrappers don’t end up soggy!

11. Fill and roll egg roll wrappers

12. Cook in air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 6 minutes, flipping egg rolls halfway through

13. Enjoy! Serving suggestion: Hot and Sour Sauce and Chinese Hot Mustard.

If you want a more authentic, very spicy Asian mustard, I recommend this one: https://amzn.to/42w5fg0

If you something less spicy, but still has a kick and is more flavorful than a regular American mustard, I recommend this: https://amzn.to/3Rsiutb

These chicken cilantro eggrolls are fresh AF—loaded with bright, punchy flavors and a high ratio of veggies to meat. Juicy marinated chicken thighs meet crisp vegetables, fresh cilantro, green onion, and ginger, all wrapped up and air-fried to golden perfection. The key? Letting the filling dry out before rolling to keep things crispy, not soggy.
