Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 package (8 oz) spring roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Crispy Vegetable Spring Rolls
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture on the wrapper, about 2 inches from the bottom corner.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold the sides in towards the center, then roll it up tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add a few spring rolls to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the spring rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining spring rolls.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the spring rolls to avoid soggy wrappers.
- Do not overfill the wrappers, as this can cause them to break during frying.
- Keep the cooked spring rolls warm in a low oven while frying the rest.
Easy Variations
- Add protein: Include cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu for added flavor and substance.
- Spice it up: Incorporate chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Switch up the veggies: Use bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms based on your taste preferences.
What to Serve With It
- Soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping
