Ingredients:

  • Rice Noodles: ½ cup
  • Spring Roll Wrappers: 10
  • White Onion: ½ cup, sliced
  • Carrot: ½ cup, shredded
  • Cabbage: 2 cups, shredded
  • Salt: To taste
  • Soy Sauce: 1 tbsp
  • Oyster Sauce: 1 tbsp
  • Sugar: ½ tsp
  • Garlic: 1 tbsp, minced
  • Chili Flakes: ½ tsp
  • Cornstarch: 1 tsp
  • Water: 1 tbsp
  • Corn Flour: 2 tbsp
  • Warm Water: 3 tbsp
  • Vegetable Oil: For frying

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Noodles: Immerse the rice noodles in cold water to soak. Allow them to soften until they become limp.
  2. Prepare the Filling: In a pan, sauté the sliced white onion for about 2 minutes. Introduce the shredded carrot and cabbage and continue sautéing for an additional 5 minutes. As they cook, season the vegetables with salt, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, garlic, and chili flakes. Separately, dissolve the cornstarch in water, stirring until well combined, and then mix this into the vegetable filling.
  3. Noodles to the Mix: Drain the softened rice noodles and give them a rough chop to get smaller pieces. Add these chopped noodles into the vegetable mixture, mixing well.
  4. Cooling Period: Before you start wrapping, ensure the vegetable and noodle filling cools down completely.
  5. Sealing Mixture: Combine corn flour with warm water to create a sealing paste.
  6. Rolling Time: Orient a spring roll wrapper like a rhombus. Place approximately 1 tbsp of the filling at the bottom end. Roll it up tightly.
  7. Seal: Brush a thin layer of the corn flour mixture along the edge to ensure the spring roll is sealed properly.
  8. Frying: Heat the vegetable oil and fry the spring rolls in batches for about 7-10 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  9. Draining: After frying, place the spring rolls on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  10. Serve: Serve your crispy spring rolls with chili sauce or any dip of your preference. Enjoy the crunch with every bite!

These crispy spring rolls are not just a treat for the eyes but also for the palate. They are perfect for get-togethers or just a special evening snack. Enjoy your cooking and the scrumptious results!
