Ingredients:

• 1 package of spring roll wrappers (about 10-12 wrappers)
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (or any protein like shrimp or tofu)
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• ½ cup shredded carrots
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated (optional)
• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional for extra flavor)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for sealing)
• 1 egg, beaten (for sealing and egg wash)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken (or your choice of protein), shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, minced garlic, grated ginger (if using), soy sauce, sesame oil, and hoisin sauce. Mix everything well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Prepare the Spring Roll Wrappers: Lay one spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. If using round wrappers, place it so it looks like a diamond shape. If using square wrappers, place it so it forms a square.
3. Fill the Wrapper: Place a small spoonful of the filling mixture near the center of the wrapper. Make sure not to overfill, as it will be hard to roll them up.
4. Seal the Spring Rolls: To seal the rolls, fold in the two sides of the wrapper, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Seal the top edge using a little bit of the beaten egg (or cornstarch mixed with water if you prefer to avoid using eggs).
5. Fry the Spring Rolls: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small piece of wrapper sizzles when added. Carefully add the spring rolls into the hot oil, frying them in batches so they aren’t overcrowded.
6. Fry Until Golden and Crisp: Fry the spring rolls for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Turn them occasionally for even cooking.
7. Drain and Serve: Once the spring rolls are golden and crispy, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
8. Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve the crispy spring rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce. Enjoy the satisfying crunch and delicious filling in every bite!
