Ingredients

• 8 Spring Roll Wrappers (usually found in the freezer section)
• 1 Cup Shredded Cabbage 🥬
• 1 Carrot (julienned – thin strips) 🥕
• 1/4 Cup Bean Sprouts
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 2 tbsp Hoisin Sauce
• 1 tbsp Peanut Butter 🥜
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• Pinch of Chili Flakes (optional, but adds a little heat!)
• Oil for frying (enough to fry up those beauties to golden perfection)

Instructions

• 1. Prep Your Veggies

  Start by prepping your veggies!

  Shred the cabbage, julienne the carrot (fancy word for cutting them into thin strips), and throw them all into a bowl with the bean sprouts.

  Add in soy sauce and sesame oil to give your filling some flavor.
• 2. Time to Roll!

  Grab a spring roll wrapper and lay it flat on your work surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the veggie mixture into the center.

  Fold the sides in like you’re wrapping a burrito, then roll it up tightly. Seal the edges with a bit of water to make sure it stays put.

  Repeat with the rest of the wrappers and filling until you’ve got a little spring roll army lined up and ready to fry. 😎
• 3. Fry 'Em to Perfection

  Heat up about an inch of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When the oil’s hot (you can test it by dipping the end of a spring roll in and checking for sizzles), gently place the spring rolls in.

  Fry until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them!

  Once they’re done, transfer them to a paper towel to drain off the extra oil.
• 4. Whip Up the Hoisin Peanut Sauce

  In a small bowl, mix together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir until smooth. If you like a little heat, sprinkle in some chili flakes.

  This sauce is going to be your new favorite—trust me!
• 5. Serve and Enjoy!

  Plate up your crispy spring rolls, pour that delicious hoisin peanut sauce into a dipping bowl, and get ready to dig in.Grab, dip, and enjoy the crunchy, savory goodness. These babies are addictive, so don’t be surprised if you end up eating them all yourself!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

1. Can I bake the spring rolls instead of frying them?
   • Yes! If you want a healthier option, you can bake the spring rolls at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to get that nice golden brown color. They might not be as crispy as fried, but still delicious!
2. Can I make these spring rolls ahead of time?
   • Absolutely! You can assemble the spring rolls ahead of time and store them in the fridge (covered) for up to 24 hours. Fry or bake them just before serving for the best crunch.
3. Can I freeze the spring rolls?
   • Yes, you can freeze them before frying. Just place the assembled spring rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze them until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, fry them directly from frozen—just add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.
4. What’s a good substitute for hoisin sauce?
   • If you don’t have hoisin sauce, you can use a mix of soy sauce and a bit of honey or brown sugar for sweetness. You won’t get the exact same flavor, but it’ll still be a tasty dipping sauce!
5. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
   • Yes! Just make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce (or tamari) and check that your spring roll wrappers and hoisin sauce are gluten-free. Many rice-based wrappers are naturally gluten-free, but it’s always good to double-check.
6. What else can I serve with these spring rolls?
   • These crispy spring rolls are perfect on their own, but you can serve them with other dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce or even a spicy mayo. They also make a great appetizer before a stir-fry or noodle dish!
