Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer at 370°F (188°C). Set at 25 minutes. (See notes)

Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
TIPS:
The pieces of Lumpiang Shanghai placed onto the first Air Fryer tray located at the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch will cook faster. They turn golden in color in 15 to 17 minutes.
Once the first Air Fryer tray is done, move the second tray at the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch. The Lumpiang Shanghai in the second tray will be done in less than 10 minutes.
If you will not close the door while turning each Lumpiang Shanghai, the Air Fryer temperate might change. It’s best to close the door and manually adjust the timer as needed.
While assembling the lumpia wrappers with the ground meat, use more than one plate if necessary, to avoid from sticking to each other. Once they stick to each other, the wrappers may break.
