Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup cooked halal chicken or shrimp, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (halal-certified)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wrappers and Frying:

  • 20 spring roll wrappers (halal-certified)
  • 1 tbsp flour mixed with 2 tbsp water (to seal the rolls)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

  • Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.
  • Add cabbage, carrots, and cooked chicken or shrimp. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes.
  • Mix in soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.

Assemble the Spring Rolls

  • Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape.
  • Add 1-2 tbsp of filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the sides inward. Roll tightly to form a cylinder, sealing the edge with the flour-water mixture. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

Fry the Spring Rolls

  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the spring rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
