Crispy on the outside, packed with flavorful veggies and tofu on the inside—these air fryer tofu egg rolls are a plant-based spin on a takeout favorite.

🛒 Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 1 block (14 oz) Nasoya extra-firm tofu, pressed and crumbled

• 1 tbsp sesame oil (or avocado oil)

• 1 cup shredded green cabbage

• 1 cup shredded carrots

• 3 scallions, thinly sliced

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

• 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

• 1 tsp rice vinegar

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

For the egg rolls:

• 8–10 Nasoya egg roll wrappers (egg-free!)

• Small bowl of water for sealing edges

• Cooking spray or neutral oil

Peanut Dipping Sauce:

• 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter

• 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

• 1 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp rice vinegar or lime juice

• 1 tsp sriracha (optional)

• 1–2 tbsp warm water to thin

🔪 Instructions:

1. Prepare the filling: Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add crumbled tofu and cook for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden. Add cabbage, carrots, scallions, garlic powder, ginger, tamari, and rice vinegar. Cook 2–3 more minutes until slightly softened. Stir in chopped cilantro and let cool.

2. Wrap the egg rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling in the center. Fold bottom corner over the filling, then fold in sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the top edge with a bit of water.

3. Air fry: Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray both sides of the rolls with oil. Place in air fryer basket (don’t overcrowd). Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

4. Make the peanut sauce: Whisk all sauce ingredients until smooth. Add warm water 1 tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached.

5. Serve: Serve hot egg rolls with peanut sauce for dipping. Garnish with extra scallions, cilantro, or sesame seeds if desired.
