Vegan spring rolls are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, and bell peppers, and are then wrapped in a thin, crispy pastry. Vegan spring rolls can be fried or baked, and they are often served with a dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or chili sauce.
Here is a recipe for vegetable spring rolls:
Ingredients:
- 1 package spring roll wrappers (about 30 wrappers)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup chopped cabbage
- 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the bean sprouts, cabbage, mushrooms, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.
- Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper over the filling.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper in towards the center.
- Roll the wrapper up tightly, starting from the bottom.
- Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the spring rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain the spring rolls on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Here are some tips for making vegetable spring rolls:
- Use a very thin layer of filling. If you use too much filling, the spring rolls will be difficult to roll up and will likely burst open when frying.
- Wet the edges of the spring roll wrapper before folding it up. This will help seal the wrapper and prevent the filling from leaking out.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet when frying the spring rolls. Fry them in batches so that they have enough room to cook evenly.
- Serve the spring rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for spring rolls include sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and chili sauce.
Here are some variations on the vegetable spring roll filling:
- Add some chopped tofu or tempeh for a protein boost.
- Add some cooked rice or noodles for a heartier filling.
- Add some chopped peanuts or sesame seeds for a crunchy topping.
- Add some grated ginger or garlic for a bit of heat.
- Add some chopped cilantro or mint for a fresh flavor.
