- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup thinly sliced capsicum (bell peppers)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil (for sautéing)
- Oil for deep frying
- 2 tablespoons cornflour mixed with 3 tablespoons water (slurry)
Instructions
- Prepare all vegetables by shredding cabbage, julienning carrots, and slicing capsicum evenly.
- Heat oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté until fragrant.
- Add all vegetables and stir-fry on high heat for 2–3 minutes to retain crunch.
- Add soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off heat and cool the filling.
- Prepare cornflour slurry by mixing cornflour with water.
- Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface, add filling near one corner, fold sides, and roll tightly.
- Seal the edges using the slurry to secure the roll.
- Heat oil for frying and fry rolls until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
- Remove and place on a paper towel or rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Always cook vegetables on high heat to keep them crunchy.
- Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent tearing.
- Ensure oil is hot enough before frying for a crispy texture.
- You can freeze uncooked rolls for up to 1 month.
- For a healthier option, bake or air-fry instead of deep frying.
