- In a wide shallow bowl, add warm water and soak a piece of rice paper for a few seconds (follow the instructions on the package). Lay out the rice paper on a cutting board or clean surface.
- Add around ⅓ cup to ¼ cup of the cooked mixture to the middle of the rice paper and fold in the sides. Then fold over the mixture from the bottom and roll to create a spring roll.
- Add spring rolls to an even layer to air fryer lined with parchment paper or foil where they are not touching (I could only fit 3 rolls at a time). Air fry at 400 degrees for 6-10 minutes until crispy. Repeat process as many times as you need to cook all of the spring rolls.
