I bought an air fryer. Which I still haven't used (except for a test drive with some crispy crowns), but I do have some glop made out of leftovers plus this-and-that prepped for making "southwestern" egg rolls. {a can of Nalley's chili, frozen corn, some wild rice pilaf, 10 oz. pepper jack cheese, 3 jalapenos, a tomato, sauteed spinach, matchstick carrots, dried refried beans to thicken, 1/3 of an onion, love, spices, a few other thingies.} TBH, I'm not very optimistic since egg rolls didn't come out too great in my convection oven, but I'll deep fry 'em if they're too cracker-like. {A lot of my food might be too Cracker-like for you Chinaman.} haha
egg rolls HAVE to be fried. trying to bake them just doesn't give that true crispy bad for you taste. 
My optimism is limited. But if I can get "decent" results, it changes the math. Done properly to my exacting specifications, deep frying egg rolls (according to my calculations) only adds about 30 calories (air frying with oil spray would probably add about 10). Deep frying is a PITA though, especially since I fry in small batches and then clean/filter the oil in-between.
