Air Fryer Japchae Spring Rolls is made with Korean glass noodles, ground beef, spinach, carrot; air fry at 385°F for 16 minutes to serve 4. 270 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cook ground beef with garlic, soy sauce, and sugar until browned. Toss with cooked glass noodles, spinach, carrot, mushrooms, and sesame oil.
- 2
Place 2-3 tablespoons of japchae filling on each spring roll wrapper. Fold sides in and roll tightly, sealing the edge with beaten egg.
- 3
Arrange spring rolls seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Spray generously with cooking spray.
- 4
Air fry at 385°F for 8 minutes. Flip, spray again, and cook for another 6 minutes until golden and shatteringly crispy.
- 5
Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing on the diagonal. Serve with soy-vinegar dipping sauce.
Tip: Cut the cooked glass noodles into shorter lengths before filling — long dangmyeon strands make the rolls difficult to wrap tightly. Squeeze all excess moisture from the spinach.
