  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken shrimp, or pork (optional)

  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated ginger

For Dipping Sauce:

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Stir-fry cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, and ginger for 2-3 minutes. Add soy sauce and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
  • Lay a spring roll wrapper flat. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
