Cooking
- Heat the sunflower and sesame oils in a wok over medium-high heat.
- Stir-fry the carrots, cabbage, and red pepper for 1 minute until slightly softened.
- Add the beansprouts and garlic, cooking for another minute.
- Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and white pepper, then gradually add the cornflour slurry until the mixture is slightly sticky.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Heat oil in a pan for deep frying.
- Place a heaped tablespoon of the vegetable mixture on a spring roll wrapper, roll tightly, and seal with water.
- Repeat for all wrappers.
- Fry the rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Plating & Serving
- Drain the fried spring rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil.
