Vegetarian Spring Rolls (CRISPY!)

Vegetarian Spring Rolls (CRISPY!)

Crispy, addicting, and refreshing Vegetarian Spring Roll is a dish that EVERYONE will love.

Sharing my family’s FAMOUS Traditional Taiwanese Vegetarian Spring Rolls passed down from my great-grandmother.

Whenever I host a dinner party, I always make my famous super crispy Vegetarian Spring Rolls because it is the best crowd-pleaser and super easy to make at home.

You can customize your spring roll with your favorite vegetables, plus you can make them in bulk and freeze them for the perfect weeknight snack and appetizer. 

Vegetarian Spring Rolls (CRISPY!)

Vegetarian Spring Roll is my favorite spring roll because it is savory AND refreshing.

The key to a good Vegetarian Spring Roll is when the cabbage is still crunchy when fried.

To make the cabbage crunchy, chop it into small pieces, draw out the moisture through sea salt, and squeeze out all the excess water.

This salt pull step is crucial to ensure the cabbage stays fresh and crunchy and prevents the filling from becoming soggy. 

Filling

For my filling, I am using carrots, shiitake mushroom, cabbage, green onion, cilantro, and vermicelli noodles for my Vegetable Spring Rolls.

You can also add in black fungus, bean sprouts, or any other vegetable of your choice.

I like to saute my mushroom, carrots, and the white parts of the green onion to fragrant the mushroom and draw out the moisture.

You must draw out the water from the filling to prevent the filling from becoming too wet, causing the Vegetable Spring Roll to explode when frying.

Vegetarian Spring Rolls (CRISPY!)

It is super easy to roll Vegetable Spring Rolls at home; I included a step-by-step picture tutorial and a video explanation.

Practice makes perfect, but the secret tip, if you are a beginner, I recommend using TWO sheets.

The second sheet will help prevent the spring roll from spilling out when frying, but it becomes extra crispy because the double sheet allows it to be fried longer before burning. 

Vegetarian Spring Rolls (CRISPY!)

These Vegetarian Spring rolls also freeze easily and can last in the freezer for up to 2 months.

There are two options: freeze-wrapped spring rolls and deep fry when you are ready to enjoy.

Or what I like to do is fry all of them for 3 minutes (70% cooked), let them cool down, and freeze.

When I am ready to enjoy, I pop them into the air fryer or oven at 370F for 7 minutes, and it becomes super crispy!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
