Instructions

  • Prepare the Vermicelli Noodles: Place the dried rice vermicelli in a medium bowl of boiling water for about 2 minutes or until they are soft.
  • Drain the noodles well and use scissors to snip them into shorter lengths.
  • Prepare the Vegetable Filling: Line the basket of a 5- or 6-quart air fryer with parchment paper.
  • Place the crushed garlic, chopped ginger, sliced shallot, carrot matchsticks, shredded Napa cabbage, Chinese five spice powder, sesame oil, and peanut oil in the basket.
  • Toss these ingredients to combine.
  • Slide the pan and basket back into the air fryer.
  • Set the temperature to 350°F and set the timer for 5 minutes.

  • Toss everything until it’s well combined.
  • Allow the filling to cool to room temperature.
  • Assemble the Spring Rolls: Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface.
  • Add approximately ¼ cup of the filling one-third up from the bottom edge in a line, leaving a ¾-inch border on each side.
  • Fold over once, then fold in the sides and roll up to enclose the filling.
  • Brush the join with a little water to seal.
  • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes.
