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 VeggiesStart 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 PerfectionHeat 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 SauceIn 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!
