Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu
Vegetables:
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup bean sprouts
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Wrappers:
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 package spring roll wrappers (about 10-12)
- Vegetable oil or peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- Sauté aromatics and vegetables in a skillet over medium heat until they release their fragrant essence and become tender, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Incorporate seasoning elements like soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper into the vegetable mixture, then allow the filling to cool and develop its complex flavor profile.
- Prepare the spring roll wrappers by positioning them diagonally on a clean surface, creating a diamond shape with the point facing toward you.
- Carefully distribute the cooled vegetable filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper, ensuring an even and moderate portion.
- Fold the bottom corner precisely over the filling, then gently fold the side edges inward to create a compact envelope.
- Roll the wrapper tightly toward the top corner, using a small amount of water to seal the final edge and prevent unraveling during cooking.
- Heat cooking oil in a deep pan to 350F, creating a consistent and hot frying environment for optimal crispiness.
- Carefully lower the prepared spring rolls into the hot oil, rotating them periodically to achieve an even, golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer the fried spring rolls to paper towels, allowing excess oil to drain and maintaining their crisp texture.
- Present the spring rolls immediately with complementary dipping sauces like sweet chili or traditional soy sauce, creating an appetizing and interactive dining experience.
Notes
- Customize the filling by swapping proteins like tofu, shrimp, or chicken for a personalized touch.
- Keep the filling dry to prevent soggy wrappers and ensure maximum crispiness during frying.
- Prevent wrapper edges from separating by using water or egg wash as a natural glue.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350F to achieve perfectly golden, crisp exterior without greasy results.
