04 - 1 cup bean sprouts
05 - ½ cup julienned red bell pepper
06 - ½ cup cooked vermicelli noodles

20 - 1 tsp toasted sesame oil

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, bell pepper, vermicelli noodles, green onions, cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Toss until well mixed.
02 - Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
03 - Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
04 - Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok to 350°F (175°C). Fry the spring rolls in batches, turning occasionally, for 3–4 minutes or until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
05 - In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha (if using), water, and sesame oil until smooth.
06 - Serve the hot spring rolls with the peanut dipping sauce.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The extra-crisp shells and vibrant veggie filling make every bite feel like a secret snack attack with a reward at the end.
  • They’re always a foolproof hit at gatherings because they disappear faster than you can make them.
02 -
  • Once I rushed filling too hot rolls and the wrappers split open—let the filling cool before you begin rolling.
  • Adding noodles helps the rolls hold together and makes the texture so satisfying.
03 -
  • Cover unused wrappers and finished rolls with a damp cloth to prevent drying and cracking.
  • Test the oil temperature with a bit of wrapper—if it sizzles instantly but doesn’t brown too fast, you’re ready.
