I hope you all had a great week.
We're getting close to the end of the recipes for this meal prep series! Today, we tackle how to make your own spring rolls.
We opted to make quite large chicken spring rolls this time, which are perfect as a lunch, but you can go for any filling & size you like when you make these.
This is definitely one to get creative with your fillings - there are so many great spring rolls recipes out there.
Chicken Spring Rolls | Makes 24
Ingredients
2 tbsp. crushed garlic
4 tsp. minced fresh ginger
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tbsp. olive oil
1kg chicken mince
2 cup finely shredded green cabbage
4 spring onions
2 cups enoki mushrooms
4 tbsp. hoisin sauce
24 square spring roll wrappers
Method
Step one: put the garlic & ginger in the sesame & olive oils in large fry pan & cook over set a medium low heat.
Step two: add the chicken mince to the pan & fully cook. Add the mushrooms to the pan & cook until just wilted.
Step three: remove the pan from the heat & drain out any liquid. Stir in the green cabbage, spring onions & hoisin sauce until thoroughly combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl & let it cool.
Step four: this is where we assemble the spring rolls! We found it easiest to take one spring roll pastry sheet at a time, keeping the others under a damp tea towel to stop them drying out.
Place 3 to 4 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the centre of the pastry. Fold the 2 opposite corners into the middle, then roll the wrapper around the mixture.. Wet the last corner before finishing the roll, so the corner seals the spring roll shut.
Step five: freeze the spring rolls at this stage & then cook (either in an oven or deep fryer) when you are ready to eat them!
If you're like me, a visual of what you are supposed to do is sometimes helpful - writing the assembly of these spring rolls was hard! We tackled video for the first time with this one - hopefully this helps!
Little pro tip: we actually weighed our spring rolls out, so they were all the same size. Obviously, not required, but super helpful when portioning out meals. For guidance, ours were 65 - 75g each.
How do we feel about video instructions? :)
See you next week!
