Easy Spring Rolls
Spring rolls are a must have in Ramadan. A very light vegetable and meat filling is filled in crispy spring roll sheet. Packed tightly to shape into rolls. They can be fried, air fried or baked but my favorite way of eating them is to fry for extra crispiness.

Ingredients
- 1 lbs ground beef chicken or turkey
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 chicken cubes
- 1 lbs cabbage or 1 small cabbage
- 1 tsp red chili flakes optional
- 2 carrots medium size
- 1/2 cup spring onions diced
- 1 packet spring roll sheets pack of 25
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 2 cups oil for frying
- 1 packet instant noodles wihtout seasoning
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour and water to make the slurry
Instructions
Prepare filling
- Thinly slice cabbage and carrots.
- Add 1 tbsp oil to a large pan over medium heat, add minced garlic and sliced onion. Cook for a minute while stirring.
- Add ground meat of your choice. Break it down as much as you can with the help of a wooden spoon.
- Now add salt, pepper, soy sauce, and chili flakes. Cook it until all of the water is dry over the high heat.
- Add chicken cubes, chopped cabbage, and carrots to the minced mixture and cook it down a little bit. (Only for 1-2 minutes) Don't overcook the vegetables as they'll release moisture. Take the pot off the stove.
- To avoid a soggy mixture, take one packet of instant noodles. Break the noodles and add to the filling. Dry noodles will absorb excess moisture, and you'll have a perfect dry filling for your spring rolls. Let the filling cool down completely.
Make a flour paste
- Mix 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour with a little bit of water to make a thick paste.
Shape into spring rolls
- Take a spring roll sheet and add a spoonful of filling in it.
- Fold the top corner and then the right and left sides of the sheet. Apply some flour paste on the edge. Roll the sheet into a spring roll shape.
Frying
- Heat oil in a pan and add a few spring rolls at a time. Keep stirring while frying for even heat distribution and beautifully browned spring rolls.
- Once golden brown, take them out on a paper towel and enjoy.

Notes
- Instant dry noodles help absorb the extra moisture from the filling. Add noodles only when the filling is still hot. Noodles will cook down using moisture and heat. No need to keep cooking on the stove.
- One packet of spring rolls usually comes with 25 sheets. Keep the rest of the sheets covered with a moist kitchen towel as you are working.
