Ingredients

• 20 sheets Spring roll wrappers
• 2 cups Shredded cabbage
• 1 cup Shredded carrot
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Green onions (chopped)
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the filling by heating 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Step 2

Add shredded cabbage, shredded carrot, shiitake mushrooms, and bean sprouts to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3

Stir in the soy sauce and chopped green onions. Adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the filling from heat and allow it to cool.

Step 4

In a small bowl, make a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch and water. This will be used to seal the spring rolls.

Step 5

Place one spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape). Add about 1-2 tablespoons of the cooled vegetable filling near the corner closest to you.

Step 6

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it securely. Fold the left and right corners inward, then roll the wrapper tightly upwards. Use the cornstarch slurry to seal the final edge.

Step 7

Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling, until all spring rolls are wrapped.

Step 8

Heat 2 cups of cooking oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), carefully add the spring rolls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Fry the spring rolls for 2-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
