Ingredients:

  • 8 spring roll wrappers
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, julienned
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Cooking oil for frying
  • Sweet chili sauce or peanut sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, chopped cilantro, chopped mint, soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Toss until well combined and set aside.
  2. Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface, with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape).
  3. Arrange a few slices of avocado in the center of the wrapper, leaving some space around the edges.
  4. Spoon a generous portion of the vegetable mixture over the avocado slices.
  5. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it snugly underneath.
  6. Fold the left and right corners of the wrapper inward, then continue rolling the wrapper away from you until the filling is completely enclosed.
  7. Moisten the top corner of the wrapper with water and press to seal the spring roll.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  9. Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
  10. Carefully place the spring rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  11. Once cooked, remove the spring rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  12. Serve the crispy avocado spring rolls hot, alongside sweet chili sauce or peanut sauce for dipping, if desired.
