Ingredients

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup finely chopped cabbage
½ cup grated carrots
¼ cup chopped green onions
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
12 spring roll wrappers
Oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped cabbage, grated carrots, and green onions. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper if using, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly so the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 2: Wrap the Rolls

Lay one spring roll wrapper on a flat work surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture near one corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, bring in the sides, and continue rolling tightly toward the opposite corner. Seal the edge with a little water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
