Steps

How to Make Filling for Crispy Thai Spring Rolls – Vegan-Friendly!:
1. Soak the glass noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes, then drain and cut them into shorter pieces.
2. Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms until soft, then squeeze out excess water and finely chop.
3. Shred the cabbage and carrots into thin strips.
4. Mince the garlic for extra flavor.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
6. Add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
7. Add shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, and carrots—stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
8. Add seasoning powder, light soy sauce, and mushroom sauce, mixing everything well.
9. Toss in the glass noodles and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until well combined.
10. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely before wrapping.
How to Wrap Spring Rolls:
1. Mix flour and water to create a glue for sealing the spring rolls.
2. Take the spring roll wrappers out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature until they soften. Cut a spring roll wrapper in half, then trim the top corner to form a small triangle shape.
3. When using them, cover with a damp, clean towel to keep them from drying out and cracking.
4. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling near the bottom.
5. Fold it up by holding the top slightly tight and rolling it over, then fold in both sides.
6. Roll tightly upward and seal the edge with a little flour paste.
7. Repeat until all the spring rolls are wrapped.
How to Cook Spring Rolls in the Air Fryer :
1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the rolls with oil for extra crispiness. Air fry for 10-13 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown & crispy.
How to Deep Fry Spring Rolls:
1. Heat enough oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
2. Carefully place the spring rolls in the oil, frying in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
3. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Serve with sweet chili sauce.
