| 4 teaspoons | 20 ml | minced garlic |
| 1 1/2 | carrots | |
| 6 tablespoons | 90 ml | chicken broth |
| 3 tablespoons | 45 ml | reduced-sodium soy sauce |
| 4 teaspoons | 20 ml | white sugar |

Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium high heat and cook ginger and garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add carrot to ginger and garlic and cook over high heat for 2 minutes.
- Stir chicken broth, soy sauce, and sugar into carrot mixture and bring to a boil. Add cabbage and simmer until cabbage is soft, about 5 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and stir in sesame oil. Allow mixture to cool for 15 minutes.
- Strain cabbage and broth mixture, and gently fold in minced shrimp.
- Crack egg in a small bowl and whisk.
- Fill each egg roll wrapper with shrimp mixture, placing the shrimp mixture just below the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom point over the filling and tuck under. Fold in both sides and roll up tightly. Use beaten egg to seal the wrapper. Repeat until all egg rolls are complete.
- Place egg rolls in a single layer into greased air fryer basket, working in batches as needed. Spray egg rolls with oil and cook at 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, turn over, and cook for 5 minutes more. (Editor's note: в групата пишеше 15 мин / the group listing said 15 min)
Mealthy Tip: If you do not have Napa cabbage, you can also use regular cabbage or a green and purple cabbage mixture. You can also substitute the 12 egg roll wrappers with 20 wonton wrappers. You can make the filling ahead of time. Just store it in the refrigerator a day in advance. Then all you have to do is fill the wrappers and pop in the air fryer.
