# Ingredients:

→ For the filling

01 - 1 tablespoon oil
02 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
03 - 1 pound ground pork
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
06 - 1 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
07 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
08 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
09 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
10 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
11 - 1 ½ cups of tricolor coleslaw mix

→ For assembly

12 - 8 spring roll wrappers
13 - Cooking spray or oil for air fryer

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat and add the sesame seeds. Once the seeds turn golden brown, add the ground pork and cook, stirring frequently, until browned. Mix in the onion powder, black pepper, ginger, rice vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sliced green onions. Continue cooking until most of the liquid evaporates. Add the coleslaw mix and cook about 2 minutes more, until the cabbage is just wilted.
02 - Place a spring roll wrapper in a diamond position on your work surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the meat filling in the center, forming a line parallel to your body. Lightly wet the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the left and right corners toward the center, covering the sides of the filling.
03 - Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then tightly roll the wrapper upward while gently squeezing out any air pockets. Dab a little water on the final corner to seal the spring roll completely.
04 - Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil. Arrange the spring rolls in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don't touch. Spray the spring rolls lightly with oil for extra crispiness.
05 - Air fry at 380°F for 8 minutes, flipping the spring rolls halfway through cooking, until they're crispy and golden brown all over. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth on the hot filling.

# Notes:

01 - These air fryer spring rolls provide all the crispiness of traditional deep-fried versions without the mess of oil.
02 - Feel free to customize the filling with shrimp, chicken, or make it vegetarian with tofu and extra vegetables.
03 - Serve with sweet chili sauce, duck sauce, or soy sauce for dipping.
