Ingredients:

• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup bean sprouts
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 package spring roll wrappers
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, chopped green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
2. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture in the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal. Use a little water to seal the top edge of the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the spring rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove the spring rolls and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with soy sauce or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
