Recipe Summary Vegan Spring Rolls

This is a combination of every vegetarian spring roll that sounded interesting, tailored to suit the needs and restrictions of a vegan.

Ingredients | Thai Banana Spring Rolls

⅓ head cabbage, chopped

3 carrots, cut into matchstick-size pieces

1 cup finely chopped broccoli

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed, divided

1 onion, diced

1 cup chopped mushrooms

1 cup torn spinach

4 tablespoons liquid aminos (such as Bragg®)

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

12 ounces rice paper sheets

Directions

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cabbage, carrots, and broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.

While vegetables are steaming, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook about 5 minutes more. Mix steamed vegetables into the skillet; add spinach, aminos, and hoisin sauce. Cook filling until spinach is limp, about 1 minute.

Fill a bowl the size of a rice paper sheet halfway with water. Soak 1 sheet at a time until just softened. Place rice paper sheet on a clean work surface. Spoon 2 to 4 tablespoons of filling onto the middle of the sheet and roll the bottom up half-way. Fold sides in, burrito-style, and continue rolling up snug. Place filled roll on a plate. Repeat with remaining rice paper sheets and filling. Set rolls in the refrigerator for 5 minutes; flip over and refrigerate until dry, about 5 minutes more.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry rolls on each side, turning periodically to prevent over-browning, until the rolls are a delicate golden color all over, 3 to 5 minutes. Place fried rolls on a baking sheet in the oven to keep hot until ready to serve.

You can use frozen lumpia wrappers in place of the rice paper wrappers, if you prefer.

When frying, remember, you are not deep frying them (though you can in a fryer, if you wish), and the filling is already cooked, so you need not worry about cooking through.

Preparation time may vary if you have a food processor to speed up preparing the vegetables.
