Chinese Crispy Spring Rolls

If you love the crispy, golden brown spring rolls that are typically served at Chinese restaurants, then you must try this recipe. These rolls are filled with a savory mixture of pork and vegetables, and are deep-fried until crispy and crunchy. Here's how to make them:

Chinese Crispy Spring Rolls

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup shredded cooked pork
  • 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 package spring roll wrappers
  • Oil, for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the pork, cabbage, carrot, bean sprouts, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Stir until well combined.
  2. Spoon a small amount of the pork mixture onto the center of each spring roll wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll the wrapper up tightly, tucking the edges in as you go.
  3. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large pot until it reaches 350 degrees F. Carefully add the spring rolls to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Remove the spring rolls from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Crispy Rice Paper Spring Rolls

If you're looking for a lighter, healthier version of spring rolls, then you'll love this recipe. These rolls are made with rice paper wrappers, which are much thinner and lighter than traditional spring roll wrappers. Here's how to make them:

  3. Place the softened wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel. Spoon a small amount of the vegetable mixture onto the center of the wrapper.
  4. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up over the filling, then fold the sides in towards the center. Roll the wrapper up tightly, tucking the edges in as you go.
  5. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve the spring rolls immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Homemade Spring Roll Wrappers

If you're feeling ambitious, you can even make your own spring roll wrappers from scratch. Here's a simple recipe to get you started:

Homemade Spring Roll Wrappers

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the water and stir until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, until it is soft and pliable.
  2. Divide the dough into 8-10 small balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball out into a very thin, round sheet.
  3. Cut the sheets into 6-inch circles using a round cutter or by tracing around a small plate. Stack the circles between sheets of wax paper to prevent sticking.
  4. To use the wrappers, wet them with warm water and fill with your desired filling. Roll them up tightly, tucking the edges in as you go.
