Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 pound Boneless Chicken Breast Fresh is key for the best flavor; shred after cooking.
- 2 cups Cabbage Adds a satisfying crunch; swap for lettuce for lighter rolls.
- 1 cup Carrots Offers a hint of sweetness; bell peppers can enhance flavor and color.
- 3 stalks Green Onions Adds subtle onion notes; chives make a great alternative.
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic Infuses the filling with aroma; garlic powder works in a pinch.
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Ginger Gives warmth and spice; feel free to omit if necessary.
For Wrapping
- 12 pieces Spring Roll Wrappers Essential for holding the delicious filling; rice paper is a great substitute for a unique twist.
For Flavor
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce Elevates the umami profile; use tamari for a gluten-free option.
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil Required for frying; peanut oil can offer a delightful nutty taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook seasoned chicken in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes per side. Once cooked, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces for easy wrapping.
- Slice cabbage and carrots (and any additional veggies you prefer) into thin strips, ensuring they are easy to roll into the wrappers and add delightful crunch.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with your prepared vegetables, minced garlic, fresh ginger, and soy sauce. Stir well to ensure every ingredient is coated evenly, creating a flavor-packed filling.
- Lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling at one edge and roll tightly, tucking the sides in as you go to seal in all the goodness.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add each rolled spring roll and fry until they turn golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain them on paper towels afterward to remove excess oil.
- Arrange your freshly made spring rolls on a platter and serve them warm with your choice of dipping sauce for the perfect bite!
Notes
Optional: Serve with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for extra flavor.
