Ingredients

8 ounces cooked chicken breast (shredded)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon red onion (minced)
2 ounces white cabbage (shredded)

2 ounces carrot (shredded)
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
15 egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onion, shredded cabbage, and carrot, cooking until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and soy sauce, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
Step 2: Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cooled chicken filling near the bottom edge. Fold the bottom up over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides. Roll tightly but gently to avoid tearing the wrapper and seal the edge well. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Pour about 1/2 inch of oil into a pan and heat over medium until hot. Fry the spring rolls in batches, spacing them apart to avoid overcrowding. Turn occasionally and cook until all sides are golden brown, about 1 minute per side.

Step 4: Remove the cooked spring rolls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat frying with remaining rolls.
Step 5: Serve the spring rolls immediately while hot, accompanied by Sriracha or sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
Step 6: Enjoy your crispy, flavorful chicken spring rolls!

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, lightly brush the spring rolls with a bit of oil before frying.
Substitute chicken with cooked shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
Add chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or mint to the filling for a fresh twist.

If you prefer baked spring rolls, brush them with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Storage

Store leftover spring rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the wrappers soggy.

How to Serve

The image shows a stack of eight golden brown spring rolls arranged in two layers on a white rectangular plate with a light green pattern. Each spring roll is tightly wrapped with a smooth, crisp outer layer showing slight browning and small specks of darker fried spots. The front layer has five spring rolls, with three more placed on top, all sealed with folded edges facing outward. To the left, there is a small white bowl filled with bright red sweet chili sauce, garnished with few chopped green onions. The plate rests on a white marbled texture surface.
