Vegetable spring rolls are popular appetisers in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine. Each region has its own distinct recipes with subtle differences. Try this homemade spring roll recipe, and it will be a hit with everyone.
With Ramadan just around the corner, I thought I would share one of my most popular recipes. This is a great recipe to freeze and make ahead. No need to rush for iftar when you have these spring rolls readily available in the freezer.
I have shared many freezer-friendly recipes before, such as my aloo samosas, chicken spring rolls, and keema samosas. What I like to do is bulk prepare all these in advance.
For this recipe, I use spring roll wrappers that are made of wheat. They usually come in a pack of 30, but I like to use the rest for different fillings.
Spring rolls are actually very easy to make. Don’t be scared that you will break the wrappers because they are actually a lot less fragile than you think.
I have kept this recipe authentic to its Chinese roots with the minimal use of spices and the use of cabbage. Usually, I like to add a whole load of spices to everything, but I find that this recipe doesn’t really need it.
Ensure that the filling has cooled down before adding it to the spring rolls. Otherwise, you will have a hard time folding the spring rolls properly and it might cause the filling to seep out and no one wants that!
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) or gas mark 4 and arrange the spring rolls in a single layer on a baking tray.
Brush the spring rolls lightly with oil and bake for about 35 minutes. It is important to note that these spring rolls will not turn golden brown like the fried ones but will instead darken.
The flavour of the filling will not be affected by baking the spring rolls, but the pastry will be less crisp. They will still taste delicious and are a great way to stay healthy without giving up everything.
Now, traditionally Chinese spring rolls are served with sweet and sour sauce, but personally, I love to eat mine with green chutney.
Eat it however you want, whether you want to eat it with some yoghurt chutney or mayonnaise, or even some burger sauce. No one can stop you!
Deliciously crispy and filled with juicy vegetables, this vegetable spring roll recipe is a true joy to make.
