Ingredients
- 20 spring roll wrappers
- 1 cup shredded green cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

How to Make Crispy Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Sauce
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- Take a spring roll wrapper and lay it on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture near the corner closest to you.
- Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly away from you to form a cylinder. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F).
- Carefully add a few spring rolls at a time, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the spring rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the spring rolls to prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; fry in batches for even cooking.
- For a healthier option, consider baking the spring rolls at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Easy Variations
- Add cooked shrimp or chicken for a protein boost.
- Substitute zucchini or bell peppers for a different flavor.
- Try adding fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for a fresh twist.
What to Serve With It
- A side of soy sauce or spicy mayo for dipping.
- A fresh salad with a tangy dressing.
- Steamed rice or fried rice as a main dish pairing.
