- Filling Preparation:
- Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain them and set them aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, sauté the minced ginger and garlic until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage, carrots and celery. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
- If you are using meat, add it to the wok and cook until completely cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the wok and mix all the ingredients well. Remove from the fire and let cool.
- Assembling the Spring Rolls:
- Place a sheet of spring roll dough on a flat surface, with one corner facing you.
- Place a portion of filling on the bottom edge of the pasta sheet.
- Fold the left and right sides of the sheet over the filling, and then roll up, making sure the filling is tightly wrapped.
- Seal the top end of the sheet with beaten egg or flour paste to prevent it from unrolling.
- Repeat the process with the rest of the pasta and filling sheets.
- Cooking the Spring Rolls:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer until hot but not smoking.
- Fry the spring rolls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the spring rolls from the pan and place them on kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
