Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • I use leftover cooked pork, but leftover cooked chicken works great too.
  • Let the filling cool before adding it to the egg roll wrappers. If you add it while too hot, it can rip the wrappers.
  • Use cool water, not warm or hot, to seal the wrappers.
  • To store: add to a covered container and eat within 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer.
