2 cups (fresh)

2 ounces (blanched and chopped)

hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon (for seasoning)
oyster sauce

chopped coriander

spring roll wrappers

Instructions
1
In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2
Add the shredded napa cabbage, grated carrot, and bean sprouts to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 2 minutes, until the cabbage is just starting to soften.
3
Next, add the blanched and chopped bean thread noodles along with the shredded cooked chicken. Continue to stir-fry until everything is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Drizzle in the hoisin sauce and oyster sauce, tossing to thoroughly coat the mixture. Ensure that the filling is moist but not overly wet. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before folding in the chopped coriander.
5
To assemble the spring rolls, place a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface, oriented like a diamond (point facing you). Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper.
6
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two sides. Brush the top edge of the wrapper with beaten egg to seal. Carefully roll the wrapper upwards to form a tight cylinder, ensuring the filling is well enclosed.
7
In a deep skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to create a 1-inch layer, and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Carefully place the spring rolls in the hot oil, frying in batches if needed, for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
8
Once cooked, remove the spring rolls and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce and enjoy!
