Method⁠:


  1. Heat a splash of oil in a wok or frying pan, add the white parts of the spring onions and fry for a few moments to release the flavours.
  2. Add the cabbage, carrot and pepper and fry until soft and slightly wilted.
  3. Season with soy sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper, then add the greens of the spring onions. Stir and set aside to cool.
  4. Assemble your spring rolls by laying a wrapper diagonally on a chopping board. Place a spoonful of filling in the middle and roll from the lower half, folding both sides in as you go. Video shows the folding technique below.
  5. Add the cooking oil to the wok (make sure you clean and dry the wok thoroughly before using it again), or use a cooking pot with high sides. Heat the oil and test the temperature by tearing and dropping a small piece of wrapper into the oil. It should fry to a golden brown when hot enough.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, gently drop one spring roll at a time into the hot oil, making sure not to over-crowd the wok.
  7. Remove with the slotted spoon when golden, and place on a rack or kitchen roll.
  8. Serve immediately with your favourite hot sauce.
