instructions

Start by finely chopping the chicken breast into small pieces.

Grate the carrot and thinly slice the cabbage.

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.

Next, add the grated carrot and sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

To assemble the spring rolls, lay a spring roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture near one edge of the wrapper.

Roll the wrapper away from you tightly and tuck in the sides as you go. Seal the edge with a little water.

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling, placing the finished rolls on a plate.

In a clean skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the spring rolls in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.

Remove the spring rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
