• 1 cup cooked and finely chopped protein (shrimp, chicken, or tofu)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for stir-frying

For Wrappers:

• Spring roll wrappers (usually made from wheat flour and water)

For Sealing:

Instructions:

Prepare Filling:

• In a wok or large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

• Add shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry until vegetables are slightly tender.
• Add cooked and chopped protein of your choice (shrimp, chicken, or tofu).
• Season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Assemble Spring Rolls:

• Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
• Spoon a portion of the filling onto the lower part of the wrapper.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.

Seal the Edges:

• Mix cornstarch with water to form a paste.
• Seal the edge of the wrapper by brushing the cornstarch paste along the edges.

Fry the Spring Rolls:

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully place the spring rolls into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, usually 3-5 minutes.

Drain and Serve:

• Remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Serve the spring rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
