Total Time 30 minutes mins
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup cooked chicken shrimp, or pork (optional)
- 2 green onions sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- Vegetable oil for frying
For Dipping Sauce:
- Sweet chili sauce or soy sauce
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.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Fry the spring rolls in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
