Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then lightly spray it with cooking spray.
2
Cook and finely chop the chicken breast. Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions and set aside.
3
In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, julienned carrot, minced garlic, and minced fresh ginger.
4
Heat a non-stick saucepan over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray. Add the cabbage mixture and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
5
Incorporate the hoisin sauce, fish sauce, and ground coriander into the sautéed vegetables, combining them thoroughly. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
6
Add the prepared chicken and rice noodles to the saucepan, stirring until all ingredients are evenly mixed. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
7
Use hardened rice paper wrappers that require softening in warm water. Dip each wrapper in warm water for 12-15 seconds until flexible.
8
Place the softened wrapper on a clean damp towel. Spoon approximately two tablespoons of the chicken-vegetable mixture onto the wrapper and roll it up tightly, taking care to tuck in the sides. Position each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Spray the spring rolls lightly with cooking spray to promote crispiness.

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even baking.
