Vegetarian Spring Roll
By Tiffy Cooks
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.
Ingredients
- ½ Carrot shredded
- ½ Taiwanese Cabbage sliced
- 8-10 Shiitake Mushrooms sliced
- 2 Green Onion chopped
- 2 tbsp Cilantro chopped

- 2 packs of Vermicelli Noodles
- 3 tbsp Vegetarian Oyster Sauce
- 1.5 tbsp Mushroom Powder
- 2 tsp White Pepper
- 50 Large Spring Roll Wrappers
- 2 tbsp Flour

Instructions
- Prepare the cabbage but chopping into small pieces, add in 2 tbsp of salt, massage the salt into the cabbage, and set it aside for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, squeeze out all the excess water and set it aside.
- In a pan, drizzle in oil and turn the heat to medium. Add in shredded carrots, chopped green onion, and sliced shiitake mushroom. Drizzle in soy sauce and saute for 2-3 minutes.
- To prepare the vermicelli noodles, let them soak in cold water for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, drain the water, and using a scissor cut into small bite-sized pieces.

- TIP: take a tsp of filling, microwave for 30 seconds, and taste to see if you like the seasoning before proceeding.

Notes
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!
