👨🍳 How to Make Veggie Spring Rolls
🔹 1. Prepare the Filling
- Heat a teaspoon of oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add garlic and ginger; sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add carrots, bell peppers, cabbage, and spring onions.
- Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until veggies are just tender (not mushy).
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt & pepper. Mix well.
- Let the filling cool completely before assembling.
🔹 2. Assemble the Spring Rolls
- Place a wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape.
- Add 1–2 tbsp of veggie filling near the bottom.
- Fold the bottom tip over the filling, then fold both sides inward.
- Roll tightly towards the top.
- Seal the edge with the cornstarch slurry to avoid unwrapping.
🧠 Tip: Don’t overstuff or they’ll tear while frying.
🔹 3. Fry the Spring Rolls
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add 2–3 rolls at a time.
- Fry until golden and crisp (about 3–4 minutes), turning occasionally.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

🔹 4. Serve Hot with Dipping Sauce
- Sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, sriracha mayo, or garlic chutney are great pairings.
