Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or a halal-friendly alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Spring Rolls
  • 10-12 pieces rice paper wrappers
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Dipping Sauce
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • Chili flakes (optional, for heat)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the chicken breast by boiling, steaming, or grilling until fully cooked. Allow it to cool, then shred it using two forks.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, carrots, cabbage, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  3. Fill a large shallow dish with warm water and soak the rice paper wrappers one at a time in the warm water until they soften, about 10-15 seconds.
  4. Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean surface. Place about two tablespoons of the chicken filling on the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it tightly from the bottom to the top.
Frying
  1. In a large, deep saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the spring rolls in the oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Making the Dipping Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and chili flakes if using. Serve alongside the freshly fried spring rolls.

Notes

Don’t overload the fillings to prevent tearing. Ensure the oil is at the right temperature for crispy results. Experiment with different veggies and chill the filling for easier rolling.
