• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken or shrimp, shredded cabbage, carrots, green onions, and garlic. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and black pepper. Mix well.

2. Assemble the spring rolls: Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll up tightly, sealing the edges with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Heat the oil: In a deep pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of spring roll wrapper in—if it bubbles, the oil is ready.

4. Fry the spring rolls: Carefully lower the spring rolls into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes). Turn occasionally for even cooking.

5. Drain and serve: Remove the spring rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dipping sauce like sweet chili or soy sauce.
