From the Chef: The first time I made my own spring rolls, I put way too much filling in the center, and the wrapper was bursting at the seams. Now I know to start out conservatively and add more filling, a bit at a time. I make these for New Year's since they're easy to load onto a plate and take with me as I chat with friends. Serve these rolls with your favorite dipping sauce.

In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the scallion whites and cook for 30 seconds. Add the carrot, red bell pepper, cabbage, Thai basil, and sugar. Cook for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce, salt, and pepper and cook for 2 minutes.

Submerge a spring roll wrapper in water for 15 seconds. Place on a tea towel, then set on a work surface. Place about one-sixth of the filling near the bottom edge of the wrapper, and then fold the bottom of the wrapper up over the filling. Tuck in the right and left sides and continue to roll the wrapper to the top edge. Press gently to seal. Repeat with the remaining rolls and filling. Serve.
