Ingredients
- 1 cup firm tofu, crumbled
- 1 cup green cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 package spring roll wrappers (about 12-14 wrappers)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Crispy Vegetable Spring Rolls
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet, stirring occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and chopped green onions. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- On a clean surface, lay one spring roll wrapper flat. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable-tofu mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Seal the edge with a little water.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the spring rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried spring rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the spring rolls to achieve that crispy texture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches to ensure even cooking.
- If you have leftover filling, it makes a great salad topping!

- Swap the tofu for tempeh or a meat substitute for a different protein source.
- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or bean sprouts for extra crunch and flavor.
- Use rice paper wrappers for a gluten-free option.
What to Serve With It
