Smiley Food Recipe: Delicious Chicken Spring Roll

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Spring Rolls:

  • 12 spring roll wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour mixed with 3 tablespoons water (for sealing)
  • Oil for frying

Dipping Sauce (optional):

  • Sweet chili sauce
  • Soy sauce
  • Sriracha sauce

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, spring onions, and minced garlic.
  • Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything well, ensuring that the sauce coats the ingredients evenly.
  • Allow the filling to marinate for about 10-15 minutes. This will enhance the flavors.

Assemble the Spring Rolls:

  • Take a spring roll wrapper and place it on a clean, dry surface, with one corner pointing towards you.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and vegetable filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving some space at the edges.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling and tightly roll it away from you, tucking in the sides as you go.
  • Use the flour-water mixture to seal the top corner of the wrapper, ensuring the spring roll is secure.
  • Repeat the process until you have used all the filling or wrappers.

Fry the Spring Rolls:

  • Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
  • Gently place the spring rolls, seam side down, into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them occasionally for even cooking.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the spring rolls from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Chicken Spring Rolls are best served hot and crispy. Arrange them on a serving platter.
  • You can serve the spring rolls as they are or pair them with a dipping sauce. Sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or sriracha sauce all make great choices.
  • Garnish with some fresh spring onions or cilantro for an extra touch of freshness.
  • Enjoy the delicious Chicken Spring Rolls with your loved ones!
