Here's a simple and tasty recipe for delicious vegetable spring rolls:

1. Ingredients

For the Filling:

- 1 cup shredded cabbage

- 1 cup julienned carrots

- 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (any color)

- 1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms

- 1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)

- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for stir-frying)

- Salt and pepper to taste

For the Spring Rolls:

- 12-15 spring roll wrappers

- A small bowl of water (to seal the wrappers)

For Frying:

- Vegetable oil (enough for deep frying)

2. Instructions

Step 1- Prepare the Filling:

- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

- Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

- Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

- Add the bean sprouts if using.

- Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste.

- Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 2- Assemble the Spring Rolls:

- Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).

- Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper.

- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Use a little water to seal the top edge of the wrapper.

- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3- Fry the Spring Rolls:

- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok to submerge the spring rolls, to about 350 F (175 C).

- Carefully slide a few spring rolls into the hot oil (don't overcrowd the pan) and fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

- Use a slotted spoon to remove the spring rolls and drain them on paper towels.

Step 4- Serve:

- Serve the spring rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or a combination of soy sauce and vinegar.
