For the filling
- 1 cup Cabbage, shredded

- 1 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce

- for frying Vegetable oil Ensure sufficient oil for frying.
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and prep all the vegetables. Shred the cabbage, julienne the carrots, and chop the green onions. Slice the mushrooms thinly to ensure even cooking.
Cooking the Filling
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
- Toss in the cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry until they’re just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add soy sauce to the vegetable mix and stir well to combine everything. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Assembling and Frying
- Lay one spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom corner.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it tightly. Seal the edge with a bit of water.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat for frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the spring rolls, a few at a time, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Serving
- Enjoy hot, with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping!
Notes
Ensure your filling is completely cooled before wrapping; otherwise, the wrappers can become soggy. If you have leftovers, try freezing them. Just make sure to place parchment paper between layers. Don’t overcrowd the oil when frying; cook in batches for that perfect crispiness. Experiment with ingredients! Add some cooked chicken or shrimp for a protein kick!
