Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large skillet or wok, heat a little oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
    • Add the cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
    • Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
  2. Assemble the Spring Rolls:
    • Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
    • Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you.
    • Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners to encase the filling.
    • Roll up the spring roll tightly towards the top corner, brushing a little beaten egg on the top corner to seal the roll.
    • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  3. Fry the Spring Rolls:
    • Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).
    • Carefully add the spring rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
    • Remove the spring rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  5. Serve:
    • Serve the crispy spring rolls hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
