Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chicken breast or thigh meat, finely chopped or shredded
- 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 egg (for sealing the rolls)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stirring until fragrant.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the finely chopped or shredded chicken to the pan and cook until no longer pink.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the carrots, cabbage, and green onions, cooking until slightly softened.
- Season the Mixture: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper, stirring well to coat the ingredients evenly. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Spring Rolls: Place a wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon a small amount of the filling near the bottom. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a beaten egg.
- Fry the Spring Rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili or soy sauce.
Notes
- Vegetarian Option – Substitute chicken with tofu or mushrooms.
- Spicy Kick – Add chopped chili or a dash of sriracha to the filling.
- Baked Alternative – Brush rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway.
- Gluten-Free – Use rice paper wrappers and tamari instead of soy sauce.
