Ingredients

For the rolls:

• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1 cup grated carrots
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)

For the dipping sauce:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large pan, heat a little oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
   • Add the cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, bell pepper, mushrooms, and green onions.
   • Stir-fry the vegetables until they are tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
   • Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
   • Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
2. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond shape).
   • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.
   • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Seal the edge with a little water.
   • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Fry the Rolls:
   • Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
   • Fry the rolls in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
   • Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Make the Dipping Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or sugar, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, and chili flakes (if using).
