Equipment

• Non-stick skillet or wok: Ensures even browning of the filling and prevents sticking during sautéing.
• Tongs: Allows safe, precise turning of the spring rolls without puncturing the delicate wrappers.
• Paper towel-lined wire rack: Elevates cooked rolls to drain excess oil while maintaining maximum crispness.
• Sharp chef’s knife: Enables precise, uniform shredding of cabbage and aromatics for a well-distributed filling.

Ingredients

• Low-carb spring roll wrappers: 8 sheets (Note: Ensure they are thawed completely if frozen and kept under a damp towel while wrapping to prevent drying out).
• Lean ground chicken or pork: 8 oz (Note: Can substitute with extra-lean ground turkey for a leaner profile).
• Shredded green cabbage: 2 cups (Note: Finely shredded so it blends smoothly into the filling).
• Grated carrots: 1/4 cup (Note: Kept minimal to maintain low-carb count).
• Minced garlic: 2 cloves
• Fresh ginger, minced: 1 tsp
• Soy sauce or tamari: 1 tbsp
• Sesame oil: 1 tsp
• Avocado oil or high-heat oil for frying: 2 tbsp (Note: Use enough to shallow fry or coat the pan).

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat (approx. 375°F). Add the minced garlic, ginger, and ground meat, cooking for 5–7 minutes until fully browned and cooked through.
2. Add vegetables: Toss in the shredded cabbage and grated carrots, stirring frequently for 3–4 minutes until softened and moisture has evaporated. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Remove from heat and let cool completely to prevent soggy wrappers.
3. Wrap the spring rolls: Lay one wrapper flat, place 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling near the bottom edge, fold the bottom over, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly. Seal the edge with a dab of water.
4. Fry to perfection: Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat (approx. 350°F). Place rolls seam-side down and fry for 4–5 minutes , turning gently until golden-brown and crispy all over.
5. Drain and serve: Transfer cooked rolls to a wire rack to drain excess oil. Enjoy warm with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce!
