The perfect accompaniment to Chinese takeout: an egg roll. This air fried pork egg roll recipe is a lighter version of the one you'll find at restaurants, since it's air fried without the use of oil. These egg rolls are stuffed with a mixture of lean pork, coleslaw mix, and seasonings to give it a flavorful inside, and a crispy light outside. Air fried pork egg rolls are the perfect addition to a fake out take out meal at home, or alongside some rice and a veggie for a complete meal.

Instructions
Add your pork to a food processor and pulse until the meat is ground.
Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and add the pork. Season with the salt.
Break the meat up using your spatula, and cook the meat over medium high heat until it is cooked through and no longer pink (about 5 minutes).
Add more cooking spray, and then add your minced garlic and ginger to the pan.
Cook until the garlic and ginger and just fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the coleslaw mix and toss with tongs to combine with the pork.
Cook the coleslaw mix for another 5 minutes or until it is wilted and tender.
Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and sriracha in a small bowl.
Add the sauce mixture to the meat and vegetables. Toss to combine.
To make the egg rolls, lay the egg roll wrappers on your work surface.
Prepare a small bowl of water for sealing.
Add one egg white to a small bowl and whisk it.
Add 1/4 cup of the meat and vegetable filling to each egg roll wrapper, towards the bottom (the wrapper should be in a diamond shape, pointed towards you).
Wet the perimeter of the egg roll with water, using your finger.
Roll the egg roll wrapper up from the bottom, then fold the sides in, and then continue rolling the wrapper up.
Continue this process for all 16 wrappers.
Brush the egg rolls with the egg white, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray, and lay half (or 1/3 batch, whichever fits) in the basket.
Spray the tops with more cooking spray.
Air fry at 370 for 4 minutes, flip the eggrolls, spray again, and continue air frying for another 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.
