Crispy Vegetable Cabbage Rolls

Crispy Vegetable Cabbage Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1/2 head of cabbage, finely shredded
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, grated (optional)
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (optional)
• 2-3 tablespoons oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, and grated carrot (if using).
   • Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and soy sauce to the vegetables and mix well.
2. Make the Batter:
   • In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then add the flour and cornstarch. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
   • Pour the batter over the vegetable mixture and mix until the vegetables are evenly coated.
3. Shape the Rolls:
   • Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into cylindrical rolls. Make sure they are compact so they hold their shape during frying.
4. Fry the Rolls:
   • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Once the oil is hot, carefully place the rolls in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
   • Fry the rolls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Drain and Serve:
   • Once the rolls are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
   • Serve the rolls hot, possibly with a dipping sauce like soy sauce or sweet chili sauce.

These crispy vegetable rolls are a delicious snack or appetizer, perfect for enjoying with friends and family. Enjoy!
