  • ½ green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • Add the cabbage, mushrooms, green onions, carrots, and soy sauce, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The veggies should be tender but not soft yet.

  • To assemble the spring rolls, place about 3 tablespoons of the veggie mixture in the lower bottom corner of a spring roll sheet, add the cilantro, roll it up, fold in the sides, and continue rolling up until a full roll is formed. Seal the edges with a bit of water.

Notes

    • Crispiness: For that extra crunch, make sure your oven is preheated and your egg rolls are spaced apart on the baking sheet.
    • Keep the Fillings Dry: To avoid soggy rolls, make sure your veggie mix isn't too wet. A quick drain after cooking can help.
    • Wrap Them Tight: Securely rolling your egg rolls will prevent them from unraveling while baking and ensure an even, crispy exterior.

    • Customize Your Fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables or even add some tofu, tempeh, or lentils for a protein boost. Just remember to keep the filling balanced so it's not too wet.
    • Sauce it Up: Pair your egg rolls with a variety of sauces to explore new flavor dimensions. Sweet and sour sauce is classic, but why not try a spicy peanut sauce or hoisin for a change?
    • No Spray Oil: Brushing a little oil on your egg rolls before baking will help achieve that golden color and add to the crunch.
    • Let Them Cool: A brief cooling period on a wire rack before serving can prevent the bottoms from becoming soggy, guaranteeing maximum crunchiness.
    • Gluten-free: If you need these to be gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free vegan egg roll wrappers and tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce.
    • How do I keep the wrappers from drying out? Keep the wrappers covered with a damp cloth as you work. This prevents them from drying out and cracking, making them easier to roll.

Storage & Reheating

    • Cool Completely: Before storing any leftovers, let your vegan egg rolls cool down completely on a wire rack. This step helps to maintain their crispiness.
    • Airtight Container: Transfer the cooled egg rolls to an airtight container. If you're layering them, place a sheet of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
    • Refrigerate: Keep your container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, these egg rolls can last for up to 3-4 days.
    • Reheating: When you're ready to enjoy again, reheat the egg rolls in an oven or air fryer instead of a microwave to restore their original crispy texture. A few minutes at 350°F should do the trick.
    • Freezing: If you've made a big batch, you can freeze the egg rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to two months. Reheat directly from frozen, adjusting cooking time as needed.
