Ingredient Substitutions
For mayonnaise, Greek yogurt can be used as a healthier alternative with a similar creamy texture and tangy flavor. Use a 1:1 ratio, but expect a slightly thicker consistency. Vegan mayonnaise is another option for those avoiding eggs. Egg roll wrappers can be replaced with rice paper wrappers for a gluten-free version, though these will result in a softer texture. Soak rice paper briefly in warm water before use. Pulled pork can be substituted with shredded jackfruit for a vegan option, or with shredded chicken for those who don’t eat pork. When using jackfruit, marinate it in barbecue sauce before cooking to enhance flavor. Adjust cooking time as needed, as jackfruit and chicken may cook faster than pork.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (116 g)
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon horseradish sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 3 cups shredded pulled pork, separated
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (140 g, separated)
- 1 1/2 cups coleslaw (375 g, separated)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded monterrey jack cheese (169.5 g, separated)
- Water for moistening edges of wrappers
Step 1: Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients.
Mix them together well until the sauce is smooth and homogeneous.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve the egg rolls.
This allows the flavors to meld for a more delicious taste.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
On a clean work surface, lay out 12 egg roll wrappers.
For each wrapper, place a heaping tablespoon of coleslaw in the center.
Add ¼ cup of pulled pork on top of the coleslaw, followed by 2 teaspoons of BBQ sauce, and a heaping tablespoon of cheese.
Step 3: Roll the Egg Rolls
Before rolling, use a little water to wet the edges of each egg roll wrapper to help seal it.
To roll, fold the bottom corner of the wrapper just over the filling, then roll once to enclose the pulled pork mixture.
Next, fold in the right and left corners of the wrapper toward the center, lightly pressing to seal.
It should resemble an open envelope.
Continue rolling until the filling is securely wrapped inside the egg roll.
Press firmly to seal the edges, adding more water if needed.
Step 4: Air Fry the Egg Rolls
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Arrange the egg rolls in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with nonstick cooking spray.
Air fry them for 2-3 minutes, then flip them over, spray again with cooking spray, and air fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Cook until the egg rolls are golden brown, totaling 4-6 minutes.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, remove the egg rolls from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly.
Serve them warm alongside the chilled dipping sauce.
Enjoy the crispy, flavorful egg rolls as a delightful appetizer or snack!
