→ Wrapper and Cooking
10 -
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
11 -
1 package spring roll wrappers (about 20 sheets)
# Steps:
01 -
Lay them out while they’re still warm. Dunk in sweet chili sauce or soy sauce and enjoy.
02 -
Fry a few at a time in the heated oil. Turn them so they get crispy and golden all over. It takes around 3 to 4 minutes each side. Grab them with tongs and let any grease drip off on paper towels.
03 -
Pour a good layer of oil, about 5 centimeters deep, into a big skillet or pot. Heat it on medium until it hits 175°C.
04 -
Pop a wrapper on your counter with a corner pointed your way. Add about 2 big spoonfuls of veggie mix by that corner. Fold the edge over, tuck in the sides, and roll it up tight like a cigar. Use water to stick the end down. Do the same with the rest.
05 -
Toss the cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, bell pepper, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir until everything’s coated well and looks like it’s ready to go.
# Notes:
01 -
You can throw in cooked chicken or pork to bump up the protein.
02 -
Want more texture? Mushrooms or zucchini mixed in will do the trick.
