Step-by-step
Soak glass noodles in hot water 5 minutes. Drain, cut to 1-inch pieces.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet. Stir-fry garlic and ginger 30 seconds.
Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms. Stir-fry 5 minutes until just wilted.
Add noodles, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, green onions. Toss 1 minute. Cool completely.
Place one wrapper diagonal. Spoon 2 tbsp filling near the bottom point.
Fold bottom over filling, fold sides in, roll up tightly. Seal with cornstarch slurry.
Heat oil to 350°F. Fry rolls in batches 3 minutes per side until deep golden.
6 min timer
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili or plum sauce.
Cook's tip
Filling must be completely cool and well-drained. Wet filling = soggy spring rolls. Wrap tightly to avoid bursting in oil.
Storage
Best eaten fresh. Reheat in 400°F oven 8 minutes.
Freezer: Freeze unfried. Fry from frozen, add 2 minutes.

Loved it but added an extra scotch bonnet — we like it spicy. Recipe scales well, made a double batch.

Made this for Sunday lunch — the smoky bottom turned out perfect. Family demolished the pot in twenty minutes.

First time cooking this and the timing notes saved me. Did not lift the lid once. The crust at the bottom was the best part.
