Ingredients
12 spring roll wrappers
1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, julienned
1/2 bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup green beans, finely chopped
2 spring onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp vinegar
1/4 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
1 tbsp oil (for stir-frying)
Oil for deep frying
1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (to seal rolls)
Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
Add all chopped vegetables and stir-fry on high heat for 2–3 minutes until just tender.
Add soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let the mixture cool.
Place a spring roll wrapper in a diamond shape. Spoon some filling near one corner.
Fold over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
Seal the edge with the cornstarch-water paste.
Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the rolls in batches until golden and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with chili sauce or ketchup.
Notes
Let the filling cool before wrapping to prevent soggy rolls.
Don’t overfill the wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
Freeze uncooked rolls for later and fry directly from frozen.
Try air-frying or baking for a healthier option.
Customize with your favorite vegetables or add tofu or noodles.
