Equipment

1 Frying pan

Ingredients

10-20 wheat flour sheets
1 cup of vermicelli noodles
½ chopped onion
2 chopped garlic cloves
¾ cup of chopped cabbage
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2 tablespoon oyster sauce
3 tablespoon soy sauce
A pinch of sugar
3 tablespoon cornflour
3 tablespoon flour
A splash of vegetable oil

Instructions

Firstly, defrost wheat flour sheets. Then, soak 1 cup of vermicelli noodles in a bowl of hot water for 5-8 minutes.
Then, heat a splash of vegetable oil in a pan. Add ½ of one chopped onion, 2 chopped garlic cloves and cook until soft.
Add vermicelli noodles, ¾ cup of chopped cabbage, 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables and stir.
Season with salt to taste, pepper to taste, 2-3 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 2-3 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of sugar (optional).
Finally, mix 3-4 tablespoon of cornflour and 4-5 tablespoon of water together. Add the mixture to the pan to thicken the vegetable filling and stir. Then leave the filling to cook for 5-7 minutes. Set the mixture aside and leave to cool.
Mix 3 tablespoon of flour and 4 tablespoon of water and set aside. This will be used to glue the spring roll. Lay the sheet down in the shape of a diamond and brush the edges of the wrapper with the flour mixture. Add 2-3 tablespoon of the filling to the horizontally across the bottom half of the sheet, lift the corner of the bottom half, start to roll, tuck in the corners and continue to roll. Then, seal flap with flour and water mixture.
Heat a fair amount of vegetable oil in a pan. Then add the spring rolls and fry on each side for 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown. Leave to drain on a paper towel and serve with any dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

Vegetables: Feel free to make the vegetables in the filling to suit your taste. Options like red peppers, cauliflower, and green beans work great.
Variations: You can add minced pork, beef, or chicken to some spring roll recipes for a heartier option.
Serving: Enjoy this tasty appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce. My top choices are Easy Honey Sriracha Sauce and sweet chili, which are sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy. They complement the spring rolls beautifully. You can also go for peanut sauce for a creamy, sweet, and nutty flavor, which pairs nicely with the rolls.
