Ingredients

For the Spring Rolls:

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 small bags mixed stir-fry vegetables
  • ½ cup 8 g chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese 5 Spice
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 12 spring roll wrappers or phyllo dough
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the pastry)

For the Dip:

  • 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce, Kecap Manis
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon water, optional

To Serve:

  • Brown rice or noodles
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

  • Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the stir-fry vegetables and Chinese 5 Spice. Cook until the vegetables are soft and cooked through.
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Assemble the Spring Rolls:

  • Work with one spring roll wrapper at a time, keeping the rest covered with damp paper towels to prevent drying out.
  • Lay a wrapper in front of you in a diamond shape. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling about 3 inches from the corner.
  • Brush the edges with beaten egg. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides to form an envelope shape.
  • Roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with more egg wash.

Cooking Methods:

  • To Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C). Brush the spring rolls with olive oil. Bake for about 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • To Fry: Fill a deep saucepan halfway with oil and heat to 375°F (190°C). Fry the rolls until deep golden brown and the filling is hot.

Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

  • In a bowl, whisk together sweet soy sauce, soy sauce, Sriracha, and water (if using).

Serve:

  • Serve the spring rolls with brown rice or noodles, and garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro.

Notes

  • Handling Wrappers: Always keep spring roll wrappers or phyllo dough covered with damp paper towels to prevent them from drying out while you work.
  • Frying Temperature: Frying at 375°F (190°C) may seem hot, but this ensures the spring rolls develop attractive, crispy blisters, adding extra texture.
