Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 rotis, parathas, or tortillas
- ½ cup capsicum, julienned
- ½ cup cabbage, shredded
- ¼ cup carrot, grated
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 2–3 tablespoons schezwan sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
- Salt to taste
Aromatics and Finishing:
- 1 tablespoon oil (sesame or neutral)
- 1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon ginger, grated
- Spring onions, chopped
- Shredded cheese
- Fresh lettuce or spinach
- Extra schezwan sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Grab a large skillet and heat 1 tbsp sesame oil over medium-high heat at 350°F. Toss in 1 tsp finely chopped garlic and ½ tsp grated ginger, sizzling for exactly 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 thinly sliced onion to the pan, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until translucent and softened.
- Incorporate ½ cup julienned capsicum, ½ cup shredded cabbage, and ¼ cup grated carrots. Sauté rapidly at high heat for 2-3 minutes, maintaining crisp vegetable texture.
- Sprinkle salt to taste and drizzle 2-3 tbsp Schezwan sauce across the vegetables. Optional: add 1 tsp soy sauce for deeper flavor complexity.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly, ensuring even sauce distribution. Garnish with chopped spring onions and remove from heat.
- Warm 4 rotis or tortillas until pliable. Place 3-4 tbsp vegetable mixture in the center of each flatbread.
- Optionally scatter 1-2 tbsp shredded cheese or fresh lettuce leaves across the filling.
- Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then tightly roll from one side, creating a compact wrap. Seal edges with a touch of water if needed.
- Return skillet to medium heat at 375°F. Brush lightly with oil and toast each wrap seam-side down for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Slice diagonally and serve immediately with extra Schezwan sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Cook vegetables on high heat to maintain their crisp texture and prevent them from becoming soggy during stir-frying.
- Drain excess moisture from chopped vegetables before adding to the pan to ensure a dry, flavorful filling that won’t make your rolls soggy.
- For a protein boost, add scrambled eggs or shredded chicken to the vegetable mixture before rolling.
- Experiment with different wrap options like rice paper, lettuce leaves, or gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences.
