  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil + enough for deep-frying

US Customary - Metric

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok over medium-high heat, then add the cabbage, jicama, and carrots to the wok.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables until they turn soft.
  • Add sugar, salt and white pepper to the vegetables. Stir well to combine, then remove the vegetables from the wok. Allow them to cool.
  • Wrap the vegetable mix into the spring roll wrappers: Lay the wrapper out flat in the shape of a diamond. Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of the vegetable filling near the lower corner closest to you.
  • Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold both sides toward the middle. Roll the spring roll almost all the way, then dip your finger in water and run it along the top edge to seal. Finish rolling.
  • Heat cooking oil in a wok or frying pan to approximately 325°F.
  • When the oil is ready, carefully lower the spring rolls into the oil and fry them till they turn a light golden brown. 
  • Place the spring rolls on a baking sheet lined with paper towels or oil absorbing paper
  • Serve with sweet chili sauce or sweet-and-sour sauce. Enjoy! 

Notes

  • Shred the cabbage using a mandolin.
  • To julienne the jicama and carrots, slice them with a mandolin horizontally first then julienne the slices. To save time, use coleslaw mix!
  • Make sure the vegetable filling is completely cool before wrapping to prevent soggy spring rolls.
