Ingredients

Tofu

  • 8 oz tofu, extra firm
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • teaspoon onion powder
  • teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Vegetable mixture

  • 3 cups coleslaw mix
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoon white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 ½ TB soy sauce
  • 6-8 Egg roll wrappers (vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Instructions

Make the tofu

  • Get a non-stick skillet and heat it with the oil on medium-high heat.
  • Take your tofu squeeze, out all the excess water you can, then crumble it into the pan. Add your seasonings and cornstarch and stir until well-mixed.
  • Stir this as needed on and off for about 10 minutes until it starts to crisp up a bit.
  • Add your coleslaw, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, pepper, sugar, and salt, and stir until combined. Cook on high heat, stirring until the vegetables are the texture you want for egg rolls. *Some people like them fully cooked, and some like a little crunch.

Roll up your egg rolls

  • Start by placing the egg roll wrap flat and add 1-3 TB of filling, depending on how full you want them. You don't want them overly full because they will puff up when the wrap gets cooked.
  • Take one corner and fold it over the mixture.
  • Now take the right side and fold it in, then take the left side and fold it in. Making sure the edges are square and not left open.
  • Then roll the wrap closed. You can now take a little bit of water and dab the opening close, but I never do, and it stays just fine. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Cooking them

  • You can either fry them in oil or cook them in the air fryer.

Frying-

  • The amount of oil you need will depend on your pan size. Heat the oil over medium heat until it starts to bubble. Then place the egg rolls with the flap side down, cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip, checking to make sure they aren't burning. Make sure all the sides are cooked then place them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Air Fry-

  • Preheat the air-fryer to 390 degrees.
  • Spray the egg rolls with cooking spray and cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 minutes or until cooked through.
