Crispy fried spring rolls with savory vegetable filling are a classic appetizer. A family favorite with fresh ingredients and satisfying golden crunch.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, and green onion. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
Add bean sprouts, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely to avoid soggy rolls.
Lay out a spring roll wrapper. Place about 2 tbsp of cooled filling near one corner. Roll tightly, folding in sides as you go. Seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat for all wrappers.
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (medium-high). Fry 3-4 spring rolls at a time for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a paper towel and serve hot.
