Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups shredded cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1 cup bean sprouts, and 1/2 cup chopped green onions.

- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the vegetable filling onto the center of the wrapper.

- In a large skillet, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce, and 1 teaspoon honey to make the spicy dipping sauce.
- Serve the vegetable egg rolls with the spicy dipping sauce and enjoy!
