Let's get to these delicious egg rolls.
First up,
we're going to be making classic pork egg rolls.
(upbeat instrumental music)
In a sauce, pan saute onions and celery
in a bit of oil for a few minutes,
and then we're gonna add in our ButcherBox
ground pork,
which is raised humanely and crate-free.
Cooking thoroughly.
I like to let my meat brown in larger chunks
for more flavor before breaking it down.
Once your pork is brown and is crumbled,
add garlic and fresh ginger,
cooking for about 30 seconds
before adding into some shredded carrots,
and a coleslaw mix.
(upbeat instrumental music)
I like to cover and allow the veggies
to wilt down a bit.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Then we're gonna add some flavor with soy sauce,
Sesame oil, Sesame seeds,
and Sriracha.
Removed from the heat,
and allow the mixture to cool a bit
before preparing your rolls.
Assembling egg rolls does take
a little bit of practice
but it's actually quite simple.
Basically, you're gonna spoon
a few tablespoons of mixture
into the top corner of your egg roll wrapper,
and then fold the top corner over the mixture.
Then press down the little sides flat
so that the seal can be stronger
when you fold over both of the sides.
Then you can just start to roll down,
keeping the mixture tightly contained.
And of course,
brushed some beaten egg on the remainder
of the egg roll to seal.
These are egg rolls after all.
And then repeat to assemble them all.
(upbeat instrumental music)
And preheat your air fryer
while you're doing this to save some time.
Make sure that you keep your wrappers,
and assembled roles covered
under a damp rag or plastic
to prevent them from drying out
along the way.
Now, all that's left to do is cook 'em up.
Spray down your air fryer basket
with cooking spray,
and place in your egg rolls.
I did about six at a time,
and I also sprayed these down
with cooking spray to help them brown,
and crisp up.
Cook for 10 to 12 minutes,
and reveal your crispy delicious
classic egg rolls.
I know you wanna eat them right away,
but give yourself a minute
because they are hot, fresh outta the air fryer.
But I do recommend eating them soon.
They are much better enjoyed
right when you cook them
or if you need to reheat them later,
do so in the oven or toaster oven.
These seriously.
Seriously, I'm not kidding.
They taste like the deep fried real deal.
I mean pork and veggie, savory deliciousness,
and a crispy coating.
What a fun meal.
I served mine with a Mayo,
and Sesame soy sauce dip.
Yum.
Next up, we're gonna do something
a little bit different,
cheeseburger egg rolls.
(upbeat instrumental music)
In a pan, saute up some onion in a little oil.
Then I'm adding that ButcherBox
grass-fed ground beef and salt and pep.
I cook this the same as before
in larger chunks,
and then breaking down to crumble.
And then I add in some garlic,
and some chopped pickles.
Don't forget the juice for extra flavor,
and stir and set aside.
Allow the mixture to cool a bit
so that it's easier to work with.
And then I decided to stir in some cheese,
lettuce and tomatoes,
which are all classic cheeseburger
flavor ingredients.
This way, it's easier to spoon one mixture
into the egg roll
rather than adding all the various ingredients,
and then let the assembly begin.
It's easier to assemble egg rolls
when the mixture isn't too hot.
Fold the same way as before.
The top corner goes over.
Pinch to the sides.
Fold the sides, roll,
and then brush down with egg
before completing and sealing.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Into the preheated air fryer they go.
And in 10 to 12 minutes,
you have got delicious cheeseburger egg rolls.
These were well about as delicious
as you'd think.
It's a burger with an egg roll bun
instead of bread.
It is savory meat with cheesy goodness,
balanced out by the sweet and acidic tomatoes,
and pickles.
Don't forget to serve these
with a little ketchup mustard Mayo
or whatever burger condiments you'd like.

Okay.
The last egg roll flavor of the day
is a Buffalo chicken egg roll.
Say what?
(upbeat instrumental music)
First, make your shredded chicken.
I used ButcherBox chicken thighs,
which free range and certified organic.
My favorite method for shredding chicken
is adding the thighs to a sauce pan
or you could use breasts
but fat is gonna offer more tender flavor
along with an onion, some crushed garlic,
a bay leaf and salt and pep.
Cover with water and turn to high heat and boil.
Turn it down once in boils,
but keep the water simmering gently
until the chicken is super tender
around 30 minutes,
then you can transfer to a cutting board,
and shred apart with a couple of forks.
(upbeat instrumental music)
In a bowl, combines softened cream cheese,
mozzarella cheese, your shredded chicken
Buffalo sauce and green onion.
Mixed to combine.
Oh, yeah.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Lay out your egg roll wrapper,
and spoon on some of your
Buffalo chicken mixture.
Rolling it up the same way we did
the others sealing with your egg,
and keeping them covered as you go
to prevent drying.
(upbeat instrumental music)
Into the air fryer they go,
and you end up with cheesy
Buffalo chicken crispy goodness.
These popped up a bit more
from the cheese and cream cheese
but a little oozing only added to the appeal.
Our filming crew loved all of these,
and were unable to come to a consensus
on which was best.
Which would be your favorite?
