Spring rolls are a popular Chinese starter snack that is served with spicy, hot and tangy tomato chutney and mint sauce. It is basically a mixture of vegetables wrapped in a sheet of refined flour and deep fried for a crispy and crunchy taste.
The wrapping sheets can be made at home, but I personally prefer using the ones available in market because it’s damn easy to make spring rolls using them. I tried making them at home but the results weren’t so good so I like using the ones from market only. The frozen sheets in market can be found easily which use refined flour, wheat flour or a combination of both.
Some people also like to add noodles to the filling but I like to keep them simple with only vegetables stuffed inside the sheets.
Let’s see how we make it.
