Method
 

Prepare the filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, smash the chickpeas with a fork.
  2. Add the remaining filling ingredients to the bowl. Mix well.
Wrap the lumpia
  1. Unpack the egg roll wrappers and cut each diagonally in half to form 2 triangles. To prevent the wrappers from drying out, keep them a lightly damp paper towel laid on top.
  2. Grab a spoonful of filling and place it about 1/2 inch from the edge of the triangle. Pack and shape it into a long cylinder. Fold the sides of the triangle over the ends of the filling. Then starting at the base of the triangle, roll up the lumpia. Use egg white to "glue" the tip of the wrapper.
  3. Repeat the previous step until you run out of filling.
Air fry the lumpia
  1. Generously brush the lumpia with a neutral oil. Make sure to get every nook and cranny.
  2. Arrange the lumpia in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches so you don't crowd the air fryer.
  3. Air fry at 360°F for 9 min. Flip and then air fry for another 3 min.
  4. Remove from the air fryer and place on a cooling rack for 5 min.
  5. Serve with sweet chili sauce, fried onions, and cilantro!
