This Vietnamese Egg Roll hack made in the air fryer is my lazy egg roll hack that lets you make five egg rolls in one roll. Instead of individually wrapping each egg roll, you simply layer several rice papers together, roll all the filling at once, and slice it into pieces before air frying.

Even better, these are cooked entirely in the air fryer with no deep frying required, making them lighter while still turning out crispy and golden!

It’s an easier, faster way to enjoy Vietnamese egg rolls! High-protein, a perfect snack, and freezer friendly.

Start Cooking

Soak the bean thread noodles in hot water for 15 minutes until softened, then drain.
¼ cup bean thread noodles
Mince or grind the vegetables in a food processor until finely chopped.
¼ cup carrot, ¼ cup onion, 1 Tbsp shallots, 1 Tbsp garlic, ¼ cup woodear mushrooms
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the noodles, remaining ingredients, and seasonings, then mix thoroughly until well combined.
¼ lb ground pork, ¼ cup shrimp, 1 egg, 1 tsp pepper, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp sugar, ½ Tbsp fish sauce
Lightly spray cooking oil on a flat work surface where you will assemble the rolls.
Beat the 3 eggs in a shallow plate.
3 eggs
Dip a sheet of rice paper into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Lay it flat on the work surface. Repeat and overlap about 5 rice paper sheets per batch to create a stronger wrapper.
10 sheets rice paper
Add the desired amount of filling onto the rice paper.
Roll the wrapper tightly around the filling, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Cut each roll into 3-4” pieces.
Place the rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 380°F for 15 minutes, then flip the rolls and air fry for another 5–10 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
