Vegan Eggrolls with Peanut Butter Dipping Sauce

Eggroll Ingredients:
2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped
2 cups cabbage, shredded
2 carrots, julienned
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1 orange bell pepper, julienned
1 pack vegan eggroll wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying
Peanut Butter Dipping Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
1-2 tablespoons water (to thin the sauce, if needed)
Eggroll Instructions:
Prepare the Filling:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Add the mushrooms, cabbage, carrots, mung bean sprouts, and orange bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a bit of salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the Eggrolls:
Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
Place about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable filling in the center of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of water to stick. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Fry the Eggrolls:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the eggrolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
