Instructions
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground meat until browned. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Stir in cabbage, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Cook 2–3 minutes until slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Mix in cornstarch to help bind the filling.
- Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 5–8 seconds until pliable. Place on a clean surface.
- Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the bottom third of the wrapper. Fold bottom over filling, fold in sides, and roll tightly.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers.
- Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry rolls 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm with dipping sauce.
Notes
For air fryer method: brush lightly with oil and cook at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway. Avoid over-soaking rice paper to prevent tearing. Best served fresh for maximum crispiness.
