Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded cabbage (green or Napa)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup fresh bean sprouts

1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (choose from red, yellow, or green)

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (scallions)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 teaspoon minced garlic

12 rice paper wrappers

Vegetable oil (for frying)

Sweet chili sauce (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, sliced bell peppers, thinly sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix the vegetables evenly.

    Flavor the Filling: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, freshly grated ginger, and minced garlic. Pour this flavorful mixture over the prepared vegetable mix. Gently toss to ensure all veggies are well coated with the sauce.

      Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water. Take one rice paper wrapper and submerge it in the water for about 10-15 seconds or until it softens and becomes pliable. Carefully lift the wrapper out of the water and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface.

        Assemble the Rolls: Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the veggie filling near the bottom edge of the softened rice paper. Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, then tuck in the sides, and roll tightly but gently to form a secure spring roll. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

          Fry the Spring Rolls: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is ready, a small piece of bread should sizzle when added. Carefully add the spring rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each roll for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.

            Drain and Serve: Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked spring rolls from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve the spring rolls warm, accompanied by sweet chili sauce for dipping.
