Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 spring roll wrappers
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying or brushing for air fryer)
  • Optional: cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for added protein

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Add cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Stir in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Mix well, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Place a wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing you. Add 2 tbsp of filling near the bottom corner.
  5. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with the cornstarch slurry.
  6. Repeat until all filling is used, keeping rolls covered with a damp towel.
  7. For deep frying: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry rolls 3–4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  8. For air fryer: Lightly brush or spray rolls with oil and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  9. For baking: Brush rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and golden.

Notes

  • Drain and cool the filling before rolling to prevent soggy wrappers.
  • Don’t overfill; use about 2 tbsp filling per wrapper.
  • Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze uncooked rolls for 2 months.
