Chinese Crispy Spring Rolls Recipe
These dainty vegetarian stir-fried rolls are ideal served as appetizers or cocktail snacks. For a heartier version, replace the mushrooms with chicken or pork, and substitute shrimp for the carrots.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Bean Sprouts
- 1 Bunch Scallions
- 2 Small Carrots
- 2/3 Cup Bamboo Shoots, Sliced
- 1 1/2 Cups White Mushrooms
- 3 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
- 1 Tsp. Salt
- 1 Tsp. Light Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Light Soy Sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Chinese Rice Wine
- 40 Spring Roll Wrappers
- 1 Tbsp. Cornstarch Paste
- Flour For Dusting
- Oil For Deep-Frying
- Soy Sauce, To Serve
Directions
- Cut all the vegetables into thin shreds, roughly the same size and shape as the bean sprouts.
- Heat the oil in a wok and stir-fry the vegetables for about 1 minute. Add the salt, sugar, soy sauce and rice wine. Stir-fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain the excess liquid, then let cool.
- To Make Spring Rolls: Cut each wrapper in half diagonally, then place about 1 tablespoon of the vegetable mixture one-third of the way down on the rapper, with the triangle pointing away from you.
- Lift the lower flap over the filling and roll it up once.
- Fold in both ends and roll once more, then brush the upper edge with a little cornstarch paste, and roll into a neat package. Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour and place the spring rolls on the baking sheet with the flap side down.
- To Cook: Heat the oil in a wok until hot, then reduce the heat to low. Deep-fry the spring rolls in batches (about 8 - 10 at a time), for 2 - 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Then remove and drain well on paper towel. Serve the spring rolls hot with soy sauce, if desired.
