Start by preparing the cabbage leaves. Carefully peel 8 whole leaves from the cabbage, being mindful not to rip them. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 1 minute to soften. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a frying pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add ground chicken to the pan, and cook for about 5-6 minutes or until it is no longer pink. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and sesame oil.
Add chopped green onions, julienned carrot, bean sprouts, and julienned red bell pepper to the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring well.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Put about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the bottom third of each leaf.
Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll from the bottom to the top, securing the filling tightly. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.
In the same pan, heat the remaining coconut oil over medium heat. Add the spring rolls seam side down and pan-fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite low-carb dipping sauce, such as a mix of soy sauce and a little vinegar or chili.
