• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 12 spring roll wrappers or square wonton wrappers
• 1 egg, lightly beaten (for sealing)
• Cooking oil spray or 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for pan-frying)

Instructions

   In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cabbage, carrots, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Mix until evenly coated.
2. Assemble the Pockets
   Lay one wrapper on a flat surface. Place a spoonful of filling in the center. Fold over the sides, then roll up tightly into a pocket. Brush edges with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

   • Pan-Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook pockets for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
4. Serve
   Remove from heat and serve warm with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
