These beef spring rolls are super crunchy, crispy and flavorful with savoury beef and little vegetable fillings. In a pan, add cooking oil and once hot, add thinly diced onions with some scallions and stir-fry them until they are translucent. Add some hot chilli powder, black pepper, curry powder, and salt to taste then stir everything until all the ingredients are combined with the spices.
For this recipe, you will use ground beef but any ground meat of your choice will still be fine, add the ground beef break it up into small pieces stir fry until very golden brown and cooked through. You will then add in shredded cabbage, the vegetable part is an option, if you want your spring rolls without the vegetables you can leave them out.
Also, add in shredded carrots and mix them into the ground beef then turn off the heat. If you are using vegetables in this recipe, you don’t want them to cook through during this process. Let them cool, off before you start to assemble. To easily make the rolls cover at home, you will start by mixing one tablespoon of all-purpose flour with a quarter of a cup of water and mix until you get a paste that you be using to glue the spring rolls.
To make the spring roll wrappers, mix half a teaspoon of salt and 200 grams of all-purpose flour and then pour in 300ml of water. Keep stirring until well combined. Strain the batter to remove any lumps. Prepare a non-stick pan and a small brush. Heat your pan over the slowest fire and then quickly brush the batter on the pan to form around the skin. Slightly turn up the fire and heat the skin until white. Transfer to cool down aside.
Take the spring rolls wrappers and stuff the filling but you do not want to overfill because it will break open when frying. Tightly roll the wrappers around the filling about one rotation then fold both edges over and then tightly roll it up. Rub the paste on the edges so that the spring rolls will not open when frying.
Deep fry the beef spring rolls in 350 degrees Fahrenheit oil until golden brown. Remove from oil ad drain on a paper towel, let them cool a little then serve warm.
