Ingredients
For the Filling:
2 cups cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup carrots, grated
To create this filling I used 1 cup capsicum (bell pepper) cut into thin strips.
2 tbsp spring onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp vinegar
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil for cooking
For the Spring Roll Wrappers:
1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
2 tbsp corn starch
Pinch of salt
Water to make the batter
For Frying:
Oil for deep frying
For Garnish/Serving:
Sweet chili sauce or ketchup
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Use one tbsp of heated oil in a cooking pan.
Heat oil in a pan before adding sautéed garlic.
Refrigerate the cabbage along with carrots then add capsicum and spring onions. High heat sautéing last for 3-4 minutes will help prevent the vegetable mix from becoming soft.
Combine the ingredients of soy sauce along with vinegar and black pepper and salt. Mix well.
After 2 minutes cooking time transfer the mixture onto a separate area to cool down.
Step 2: Make the Spring Roll Wrappers
Combine all-purpose flour with corn starch and salt using a mixing bowl.
You should add water to the mixture while stirring until the batter stays smooth and free from lumps.
Use a non-stick pan heated over low temperature. Following an even distribution you should spread a shallow amount of batter into a circular formation.
Please cook the mixture for 30 seconds on both sides. Repeat for the remaining batter. Let the wrappers cool.
Step 3: Wrapping Spring Rolls
Place a wrapper on a clean surface.
Add the 2 tbsp heaped amount of filling on a little end, along the line parallel to a wrapped corner of your wrapper.
Fold in the sides, roll tightly and press edge closed with a little flour and water paste.
Repeat for all wrappers.
Step 4-Frying Spring Rolls
Heat oil in a deep pan or wok.
Fry the spring rolls until golden brown by batches. Remove from oil and place on paper towel to drain grease.
Tips to Keep It Budget-Friendly
The use of seasonal vegetables keeps the costs low.
Instead, make your own wrappers.
Save vegetable leftovers for soups or stocks.
