These crispy spring vegetable egg rolls are a fresh, light snack bursting with crunchy veggies and a hint of garlic, perfect for quick homemade snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Egg roll wrappers (square or round)
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage (about 225g)
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped sugar snap peas or snow peas (optional, about 60g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Neutral oil for frying (canola, vegetable, or peanut oil)
  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water (egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables: shred cabbage, julienne carrot, slice green onions, chop peas if using, mince garlic, and grate ginger (about 10 minutes).
  2. Sauté the filling: heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. Add cabbage, carrots, green onions, and peas; stir-fry 3-4 minutes until veggies soften slightly but remain crunchy and bright. Remove from heat and stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Prepare the egg wash by beating 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon water.
  4. Assemble the egg rolls: lay a wrapper flat with one corner facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold that corner over the filling, fold in the two side corners snugly, then roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Seal the edge with egg wash. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Fry the egg rolls: heat 1/4 cup (60ml) neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add egg rolls seam side down in batches. Fry 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Use tongs to turn carefully. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not overstuff egg rolls to prevent bursting during frying. Keep oil at medium heat to avoid burning. Drain excess moisture from filling to prevent soggy wrappers. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. For gluten-free, use rice paper wrappers and pan-fry gently.
