Say hello to the Indianized version of the world favorite spring rolls.

For these vegetable spring rolls, I always like to use store bought spring roll wrappers as they are very thin and turn super crisp when fried. Having said that, feel free to make homemade wrappers if you like them. I really want to create a simple and easy recipe for you, so pre-made wrappers are my absolute choice.
The filling is a simple combo of beautiful veggies like cabbage, carrots, spring onions and bell peppers (capsicum). Make sure you cut them into long sticks. Apart from the veggies, noodles also make an important element of these vegetable spring rolls. You’ve two options here - Indian hakka noodles or vermicelli noodles used in traditional Chinese spring rolls. As I want to add an Indian touch the spring rolls, I decided to go with the hakka noodles. The noodles need to be cooked separately and coated in a little oil to prevent them from sticking together.
Both the vegetables and noodles are sautéed in soy sauce and white pepper. You can also add spicy green chilies and sriracha or chili sauce to level up the heat. I love these spring rolls paired with my favorite red chili garlic chutney, but sweet chili sauce or tomato ketchup are great options too.
Trust me, each crispy bite of these vegetable spring rolls is beyond delicious.
