A crispy twist on traditional summer rolls, these air-fried beauties are filled with crunchy vegetables and savory tofu. Perfect for a quick lunch or appetizer, they're lighter than deep-fried versions but still give you that satisfying crunch. The best part? You can make them ahead and crisp them up whenever you're ready to eat!
Instructions
- Let's start by prepping your filling. Finely chop the onion, julienne the carrot (cut it into thin strips), shred the cabbage, and cube the tofu into small pieces.
- Toss all your chopped veggies and tofu in a bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of soy sauce. Give it all a good mix and let those flavors mingle while you prep your wrapping station.
- Here's a pro tip: for your dipping liquid, grab a round dish that's slightly larger than your rice paper. Fill it with warm water and add a splash of soy sauce - this will give your rolls extra flavor from the start!
- Lightly grease two plates with olive oil - this is super important to prevent sticking. One plate is for rolling, one is for your finished rolls.
- Now for the fun part! Dip a rice paper in your warm water mixture. As soon as it starts to soften (it should still have some structure), transfer it to your oiled plate.
- Place about 2-3 tablespoons of filling slightly below the center of your wrapper. Fold the bottom up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll it up like a tiny burrito. Make sure it's snug - nobody likes a loose summer roll!
- Place your finished roll on the second oiled plate, making sure it's not touching any other rolls - trust me, they love to stick together!
- Before air frying, give your basket and the rolls a light spray or brush of oil. This is what's going to give you that gorgeous golden crunch.
- Air fry at 200°C for about 10 minutes until they're golden and crispy. You might need to work in batches depending on your air fryer size.
- These are best served right away while they're hot and crispy!
- Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. When you want to reheat them, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to get that crunch back - much better than using a microwave!
Serving Suggestions Instructions
- Try serving these with your favorite dipping sauce - sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, or extra soy sauce all work great!
- Want to mix it up? Feel free to add different vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to your filling.
- If you're meal prepping, you can make a batch and reheat them in the air fryer whenever you need a quick meal or snack.
