Ingredients for Crispy Egg Rolls (Yields: 8 Egg Rolls)

For the Egg Rolls:

• 8 A La Madre corn tortillas

• 1 lb ground pork (or substitute with beef)

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 shallot, minced

• 1 cup shredded cabbage

• ½ cup shredded carrots

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Avocado oil for frying (or air frying)

• 1 egg (for egg wash)

For the Sweet Chili Sauce:

• ½ cup water

• ¼ cup rice wine vinegar or white vinegar

• 2 tbsp chili sambal

• ¼ cup allulose sweetener (or your preferred sweetener)

• 1 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• ½ tsp xanthan gum (optional for thickening)

Instructions to Make Crispy Egg Rolls

Prepare the Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork (or beef) with ground ginger, garlic powder, minced shallot, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined

Warm the Tortillas:

• Warm your tortillas by microwaving them in a damp paper towel for 15 seconds. This will make the tortillas pliable and easy to work with when rolling the egg rolls

Assemble the Egg Rolls:

• Place a spoonful of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, sealing the edges with an egg wash to prevent them from opening during cooking

Cook the Egg Rolls:

• For deep-frying: Heat avocado oil in a pan and fry the egg rolls for 2 minutes on each side, rotating them to ensure they cook evenly
• For air-frying: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and cook the egg rolls for 10 minutes, turning them halfway through to get an even crisp

Prepare the Sweet Chili Sauce:

• Combine water, rice wine vinegar, chili sambal, allulose sweetener, soy sauce or coconut aminos, and sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat on medium-low until the sauce thickens. You can add xanthan gum if you prefer a thicker consistency

Serve and Enjoy:

• Serve the hot crispy egg rolls with the sweet chili dipping sauce. Enjoy the perfect balance of crispy, savory egg rolls with the tangy and slightly spicy sauce!
