Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add a bit of vegetable oil.

Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, and mushrooms (if using). Stir-fry for
about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

If using meat, add the cooked shredded chicken or shrimp to the skillet.
Stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until
everything is well combined and heated through.
Remove from heat and let the filling cool to room temperature.
Step 2: Assemble the Spring Rolls
Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond
shape).
Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the corner closest to you over the filling.
Fold the left and right corners towards the center, making sure the filling is tightly enclosed.
Roll the wrapper away from you, tucking in the edges as you go, until you have a tight cylinder.
Brush a bit of the beaten egg on the top corner to seal the roll.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Spring Rolls
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add a few spring rolls to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the spring rolls until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the spring rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining spring rolls.
Step 4: Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, chili (if using), and sesame oil.
Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Serve the spring rolls hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
Tips for Perfect Spring Rolls
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and high-quality meat or shrimp will enhance the flavor of
your spring rolls.
Don’t Overfill: Overfilling the wrappers can make them difficult to roll and more likely to burst during
frying.
Keep the Wrappers Moist: Cover the spring roll wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from
drying out while you work.
Maintain Oil Temperature: Keep the oil at a consistent temperature to ensure even frying.
