Ingredients

• 2 cups Cabbage, shredded
• 1 cup Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 Shallot, minced
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 12 Spring roll wrappers
• 1 Egg, beaten (for sealing)
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and shallot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and bean sprouts. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.

Step 4

Add the shredded chicken breast, low-sodium soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Lay a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond orientation (one corner facing you). Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you.

Step 6

Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners to create an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the final edge with a small amount of beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 7

In a deep saucepan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully fry the spring rolls in small batches for 3-4 minutes each, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite low-sodium dipping sauce.
