Instructions 

Prepare the Filling 

• Heat sesame oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat. 

• Add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant. 

• Add cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and bean sprouts, stirring until vegetables are slightly tender but still crunchy, about 3-4 minutes. 

• Stir in soy sauce, green onions, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat. Let the filling cool to room temperature. 

• Squeeze out extra water from the vegetables, and adjust seasoning again if needed. 

Assemble the Spring Rolls 

• Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you. 

• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom of the wrapper, leaving space on each side. 

• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Brush a little water and flour thin paste on the top corner to seal. 

 Fry the Spring Rolls 

•  Heat oil in a pan to about 350°F (175°C). 

•  Carefully add the spring rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes 

•  Use a slotted spoon to remove them and drain on paper towels. 

• You can air fry or bake in oven 

Oven: 

• Temperature: 375°F (190°C) 

• Baking Time: 20-25 minutes 

• Tip: Turn the spring rolls halfway through to ensure they bake evenly and become golden brown. 

Air Fryer: 

• Temperature: 375°F (190°C) 

• Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes 

• Tip: Preheat the air fryer before placing the spring rolls inside. You may want to lightly spray them with cooking oil for extra crispiness. 

Both methods should give you crispy, golden spring rolls without the need for deep frying! 

 Serve 

• Mix the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl. 

• Serve the spring rolls hot with the dipping sauce on the side. 

Tips 

• Chop Veggies Finely- Thinly sliced vegetables fit well and cook quickly, making each bite balanced and flavorful. 

• Let the Filling Cool and then squeeze extra water-This prevents the wrapper from tearing or getting soggy. 

• You can use any vegetables of your choice, or meat of your choice and follow the same process 

• Make-Ahead Option**: You can assemble these rolls a day in advance; just keep them in the fridge and fry when you’re ready to serve. 

• You can also freeze then by freezing them in a freezer for a month. Just defrost and fry/ bake them an serve. 

**Additional Serving Tip**: Try pairing with a sweet-and-sour or spicy chili dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor! 

Making spring rolls is just as fun as eating them, and each roll adds a bit of family creativity to the plate. Enjoy the process and dig into these crispy, veggie-packed bites!
