Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 package (spring roll wrappers, typically 12-14 wrappers)
• Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (for dipping)

How to Make Crispy Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Sauce

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure all the vegetables are coated.
2. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture near the corner closest to you.
3. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly away from you to enclose the filling. Use a little water to seal the edge of the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. In a large, deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F/175°C).
5. Carefully place a few spring rolls in the hot oil, being sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Serve the crispy spring rolls hot with sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying; otherwise, the rolls can become greasy.
• Keep the spring rolls covered with a damp cloth while you prepare them to prevent drying out.
• Test the oil with a small piece of wrapper; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
• Avoid overfilling the wrappers to ensure they seal properly and fry evenly.

Easy Variations

• For a protein boost, add cooked shrimp, chicken, or tofu to the filling mixture.
• Experiment with different vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini for added flavor and texture.
• Try adding fresh herbs like cilantro or mint for a refreshing twist.

What to Serve With It

• A light Asian-style salad with sesame dressing.
• A bowl of warm miso soup for a comforting pairing.
• Steamed dumplings or potstickers for a delicious appetizer platter.
• Sliced cucumbers with rice vinegar for a refreshing side.

Crispy spring rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.
