Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 20 spring roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sweet chili sauce for dipping

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Add the shrimp to the marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the carrots, cabbage, bean sprouts, and green onions until they are slightly tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a large pot or deep-fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Take a spring roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Add a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper. Add a shrimp on top of the vegetables.
  5. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling and roll tightly. Brush a small amount of water on the edge to seal the spring roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  6. Carefully lower the spring rolls into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
  7. Serve the mini fried shrimp spring rolls with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
