1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your crispy vegetable egg rolls:

Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and bean sprouts.

Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the soy sauce and green onions, then remove from heat and let cool.

Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one corner facing you. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the vegetable filling near the corner. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly.

Seal the edge with a bit of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

Serve hot with soy sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy your crispy vegetable egg rolls!

Storage Tips

If you have leftover egg rolls, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best consumed within 2-3 days but can be reheated in an oven to maintain their crispiness. Simply preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 10-15 minutes until heated through.

For longer storage, consider freezing the uncooked egg rolls. Lay them flat on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, fry them straight from the freezer—just add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time.

Customizing Your Filling

Feel free to get creative with the filling for your egg rolls! You can add proteins such as shredded chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a heartier option. Experiment with different vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or corn to suit your taste preferences.

Herbs and spices can also elevate the flavor of your filling. Try adding fresh cilantro, ginger, or even a dash of chili flakes for a little heat. The beauty of homemade egg rolls is that you can tailor them to your liking, making them a truly personal dish.
