Instructions
Put the oil into a wok on a low heat and add the carrot and cabbage. Stir-fry and add the bean sprouts and glass noodles. Stir-fry the mixture for about 3-5 minutes and then add the sauce ingredients. Stir-fry to combine and then put the mixture onto a plate.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions. Put the mixture into the middle of the spring roll wrapper and fold one side over the mixture and pull back slightly and then fold in the edges and roll tightly. When the wrapper is rolled up use the beaten egg to seal the edge. Do this for all 8 portions. The spring rolls can be prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator until you are ready to fry them.
When you are ready to fry the spring rolls, put the oil into a wok and heat on a medium heat. When the oil is hot put in the spring rolls and keep turning them until they start to turn golden brown. Take them out of the oil and put them onto some kitchen paper to drain. Cut each spring roll into 3 pieces and put onto a serving dish. Serve immediately with some plum dipping sauce.
