Healthy vegan spring rolls packed with vegetables. Additionally, they are easy to make, crispy, and ideal for snacks or party appetizers.
🧾 Ingredients (Makes 12–14 Spring Rolls)
- 1 cup cabbage (shredded)
- 1 cup carrots (julienned)
- ½ cup bell peppers (thinly sliced)
- ½ cup bean sprouts
- 2 green onions (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 12–14 spring roll wrappers (rice paper or wheat-based)
- Oil for frying or baking
👩🍳 Instructions
First, heat sesame oil in a pan and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
Next, add cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, bean sprouts, and green onions. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender. Season with soy sauce and set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the spring roll wrappers according to package instructions (for rice paper, soak in warm water briefly).
Place a portion of the filling near the edge of each wrapper. Fold sides in and roll tightly.
Finally, cook the rolls:
- Shallow Fry: Heat oil in a pan and fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F), brush rolls lightly with oil, and bake 15–20 minutes.
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or peanut dipping sauce.
⭐ Tips for Perfect Spring Rolls
Firstly, do not overfill the wrappers to prevent tearing.
Additionally, keep vegetables slightly crunchy for better texture.
Moreover, wrap tightly and seal edges with a little water or flour paste.
If desired, freeze uncooked rolls for later use.
