Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • 1/2 cup cooked glass noodles (mung bean noodles)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce (or vegetarian alternative)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 20 spring roll wrappers
  • 1 tablespoon flour mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for sealing)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  2. Add cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and mushrooms (if using). Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
  3. Add glass noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper. Toss well to combine, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Add 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom. Fold the bottom corner over, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
  5. Brush the top corner with flour paste to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers, keeping unused wrappers covered with a damp towel.
  6. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry rolls in batches for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on a wire rack or paper towels.
  7. Serve hot with Thai sweet chili sauce, plum sauce, or peanut dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying out.
  • Adjust filling ingredients based on personal preference.
  • Use a thermometer to monitor oil temperature for best frying results.
