Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup shredded purple cabbage

1 cup fresh bean sprouts

1 small cucumber, julienned

1 red bell pepper, julienned

4 green onions, sliced thinly

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped

1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 package rice paper wrappers (8-10 wrappers)

Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the shredded carrots, purple cabbage, bean sprouts, julienned cucumber, red bell pepper, and sliced green onions. Gently fold in the chopped cilantro and mint, ensuring an even distribution of the fresh herbs throughout the veggie mixture.

    Season the Mixture: Drizzle the soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger over the mixed vegetables. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are well coated with the seasonings. Set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the wrappers.

      Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a wide, shallow dish with warm water. One at a time, dip each rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10 seconds, or until it becomes soft and pliable. Carefully remove it from the water and lay it flat on a clean, dry surface (like a cutting board or a countertop).

        Fill and Roll the Spring Rolls: On the lower third of the softened wrapper, place approximately 2 tablespoons of the veggie mixture. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up over the filling and then fold in the sides. Starting from the bottom, roll the wrapper tightly away from you, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all spring rolls are prepared.

          Fry the Spring Rolls: In a deep frying pan, heat around 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches a shimmering temperature, carefully add a few spring rolls at a time (being cautious not to overcrowd the pan). Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.

            Drain and Serve: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the golden-brown spring rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve the crispy spring rolls warm with your favorite dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce or classic soy sauce.
