In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy protein crumbles, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix well and set aside for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the prepared soy protein crumbles for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sesame oil and sauté the grated ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrots, shredded cabbage, and chopped green onions to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Mix the cooked soy protein crumbles with the sautéed vegetable mixture, stirring to combine evenly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5-10 seconds until just soft but not completely limp.
Lay the softened rice paper on a flat surface and place a generous tablespoon of the filling mixture near one edge of the wrapper.
Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
In a deep-frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the spring rolls in batches, ensuring they do not touch each other, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
