Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

  • 10 spring roll wrappers
  • 1/2 red pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 1 carrot (grated)
  • 6 bamboo shoots (thinly sliced)
  • Some bean sprouts
  • 1/4 white cabbage (shredded)
  • Some rice noodles (soaked in water)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 1/8 pints (1 liter) vegetable oil
  • 1 egg (beaten)

Steps

  1. Cook the vegetables. Heat the wok with some vegetable oil. Add in the carrots, red pepper, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and cabbage. Cook everything together until they have slightly softened.
  2. Add the wet ingredients. Add the noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from the heat. Place everything in a bowl to cool.
  3. Make the spring rolls. Place the spring roll wrapper in front of you, with one corner at the bottom so that it resembles a diamond. Brush the four edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg. Next, add the filling in the bottom part of the wrapper in a thin log shape, not touching the edges. Leave the bottom few centimetres clear.
  4. Lift the wrapper over the top and tuck it in under the filling. Fold over the left side, and then the right side and roll it up to form a tube. Brush a little more egg along the top part and seal the roll.
  5. Repeat until all the rolls are finished.
  6. Fry the egg rolls. Place a pan with oil over a medium heat. Wait until the oil is hot and then deep fry the egg rolls until they are lightly brown. Drain them on paper towels.
  7. Serve. Serve the finished egg rolls with a side of sweet & sour sauce or other favorite dips.



Tips

  • Experiment with different fillings until you find your favorite combination.
  • When draining the oil out, use multiple paper towels so that no oil leaks through and damages the surface that the spring rolls are on.
