A quick and easy recipe for crispy spring rolls filled with fresh, crunchy vegetables, perfect for a satisfying snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Spring roll wrappers (thin rice paper or wheat-based)
  • Shredded cabbage (green or purple)
  • Julienned carrots
  • Bean sprouts
  • Thinly sliced bell peppers (any color)
  • Chopped green onions
  • Minced garlic
  • Grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: a pinch of sugar
  • Oil for frying (neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil)
  • Optional dipping sauce: hoisin sauce mixed with water and crushed peanuts or spicy chili-garlic sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggie Filling (10 minutes): Wash and finely shred cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers. Rinse and pat dry bean sprouts. In a large bowl, combine all veggies with minced garlic and grated ginger. Add soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, salt, pepper, and optional sugar. Toss lightly until evenly coated.
  2. Assemble the Spring Rolls (15 minutes): Lay one spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the veggie filling near the edge closest to you. Spread evenly but do not overfill. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly, and roll up firmly to seal. Use a dab of water to seal edges if needed. Keep finished rolls covered with a slightly damp towel.
  3. Heat the Oil (5 minutes): Pour about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of oil into a skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Test readiness by dropping a small piece of wrapper in the oil; if it bubbles and rises immediately, the oil is ready.
  4. Fry the Spring Rolls (8-10 minutes): Place rolls carefully in hot oil without overcrowding. Fry, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to avoid splatters. Maintain moderate heat to avoid burning.
  5. Drain & Serve (2 minutes): Remove rolls from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool for a minute or two before serving with dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent tearing. Dry vegetables thoroughly to avoid soggy rolls. Maintain medium-high oil temperature for best crispness. Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking. Seal edges with water or flour paste. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Let rolls rest after frying to drain excess oil and crisp up.
