Ingredients
  

  • For the Spring Rolls:
  • 8–12 spring roll wrappers
  • 1 cup cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cup carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying or brushing if baking)
  • For the Sweet Chili Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup store-bought sweet chili sauce (or homemade)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Filling : In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant (~30 seconds). Add cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, bean sprouts, and green onions. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly before rolling.
  • Step 2: Assemble Spring Rolls : Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you. Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Use a little water to seal the edge.
  • Step 3: Cook the Spring Rolls : Option 1: Baking (Healthier) Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush lightly with vegetable oil. Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crispy. Option 2: Frying (Classic) ,Heat 1–2 inches of oil in a skillet over medium heat.Fry rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • Step 4: Prepare Sweet Chili Sauce : In a small bowl, mix sweet chili sauce with lime juice if desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro for extra freshness.
