Instructions

Step 1: Make the Filling

1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, cabbage, carrots, cilantro, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 2: Assemble the Spring Rolls

1. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface.
2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling near one corner of the wrapper.
3. Roll tightly, folding in the sides, and seal the edge with beaten egg.

1. Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Fry the rolls in small batches for 2-3 minutes each, or until they turn golden and crispy.
3. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce

1. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and lime juice.
2. Taste and adjust spice or tanginess as needed.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Arrange the spring rolls on a serving plate.
2. Serve warm with the creamy spicy sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color!

Helpful Tips

• Sealing the Rolls: Use a small brush or your finger to seal the wrappers securely with the beaten egg.
• Keep Oil Temperature Steady: Too hot, and the rolls may burn; too cool, and they’ll absorb oil.
• Alternative Cooking: Try air-frying or baking the rolls for a healthier version.

Storage and Reheating

• Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Reheat in an air fryer or oven to restore their crispiness.
