- 1 cup bell peppers Finely chopped.

Instructions
Gather Your Ingredients
- Start by collecting all your fresh vegetables. You’ll need cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, and ginger. Additionally, have your egg roll wrappers, soy sauce, and sesame oil ready. This preparation will make the cooking process smoother.
Prepare the Filling
- Chop your vegetables finely. Sauté the garlic and ginger in a bit of oil until fragrant, then add the chopped vegetables. Stir-fry them for about 3-5 minutes, just until they are tender but still crisp.
Season the Mixture
- Once your vegetables are cooked, add soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything together and let it cool for a few minutes. Remember, filling should be cool to the touch before wrapping!
Wrap the Egg Rolls
- Take an egg roll wrapper and place it on a clean surface, with a corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture onto the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Finally, roll it up tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of water.
Choose Your Cooking Method
- You can either fry or bake your egg rolls. For frying, heat oil in a deep pan and fry the rolls until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Alternatively, for a healthier option, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake them for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once cooked, let the egg rolls cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed with dipping sauces like sweet chili or soy sauce.
