They are crispy on the outside and with a spicy and juicy inside, these spring rolls are best served with chili soy dipping sauce. Begin by stir-frying your vegetables by adding oil to a hot pan then ginger garlic and eave it on medium heat until it starts to brown.

Add your chicken, carrot shake then the cabbage in and cook the filling up pretty fast not too long then add in the scallion and green onions or chili. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper and stir fry that to about three to four minutes, we just want the vegetables to be quite a little bit softened. Once your vegetable and chicken mixture is pretty good, you don’t want to overcook otherwise water will start coming out.

Once you see the vibrant color, add some oil, stir once more than removing your vegetable mixture from the heat and let them chill. Take your baking tray and add all the vegetables and chicken mixture in and spread them apart. If your vegetable starts to come out with a lot of juice and water, squeeze the juice out otherwise when you rack with the egg roll skin the juice will actually damage the skin and when you deep fry them it will give you an uneven color.

Put the vegetable mix in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes so until they are nice and cold. Now, merely wrap the egg roll nice and cold. Tak your egg roll skins and spread some filling and then roll over the filling and pull it back for one and a half then tuck in using your thumb.

Press it down and tuck it in and then brush some egg yolk then gently roll it out until the end. Place your egg rolls and repeat until all your fillings are finished. Place your vegetable oil in a frying pan and let that heat up then start placing your egg rolls slowly in the frying oil.

You don’t want to put too many in one round and let them fry for around 5 to 6 minute or until they are golden brown. Let them sit in a paper towel and cool then serve with your favorite dumplings.
