1 To make filling, prepare noodles according to packet directions. Drain. Cut into shorter lengths using kitchen scissors.

2 Heat an oiled, medium, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add pork. Cook, stirring to break up mince, for about 5 minutes, or until crisp. Add prawn meat, garlic and paste. Cook, stirring for a further 3 minutes, or until prawns are cooked. Add cabbage. Stir until just wilted. Transfer to a bowl. Add sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Cool. Stir in noodles and coriander.

3 To make rolls, work with one pastry sheet at a time. Place on a clean bench, with one corner pointing towards you. Cover remaining sheets with a clean, damp cloth. Brush edges with egg. Place 2 tblsps of filling across the corner closest to you. Fold over same corner to cover filling. Fold in sides and tightly roll up pastry. Repeat with remaining pastry sheets, egg and filling.

4 Pull out pan and basket from a 7-litre air fryer. Spray basket with cooking oil. Place half the rolls in basket in a single layer. Spray with cooking oil. Turn over. Spray again. Slide pan and basket back into air fryer. Set temperature to 200C. Set timer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden and crisp. Repeat with remaining rolls.
