Crispy fried Indo-Chinese (asian) style veg spring rolls that are perfect for a vegetarian (and naturally vegan) starter or appetiser filled with vegetables of your choice like carrots, capsicum, beans and cabbage.

5:53 am of 27th April 2020, when ideally I should be sleeping, I write this post as I officially ruin my routine! How crazy have the last 30 days been for all of us around the world. I had full plans to be off to bed by 11 pm but will you believe me what all I accomplished in the last 6 hours? A mini home workout (one of my favourite things lately! + corona documentary on Netflix + almost redesigned the blog logo + attended one full course on FBP followed by aimless scrolling through twitter. I try to close my eyes and go to sleep and I start dreaming about these veg spring rolls.

Veg spring rolls are Indo-Chinese style (asian) fried spring rolls filled with vegetables and basic seasoning plus a hint of soy sauce. They are super crunchy and crispy and so perfect with a delicious dipping sauce or just regular ketchup.

Veg spring rolls are perfect for serving as appetisers or bar snacks and are simply perfect for finger food or pass arounds at a party or a get together. Plus they are vegetarian and vegan. After having tried this recipe twice, I finally perfected the recipe for these crunchy spring rolls filled with vegetables of your choice: the best choice would be cabbage, carrots, beans and capsicum.

HOW TO MAKE CHINESE VEG SPRING ROLLS AT HOME?

INGREDIENTS:

  • spring roll sheets - regular store bought spring roll sheets (commonly available at Asian stores) or egg roll sheets 
  • vegetables of your choice - I used cabbage, carrots, onions, capsicum, beans
  • soy sauce - just about 1 tsp of light soy sauce 
  • salt & pepper -for seasoning

METHOD:

 - start by sautéing some onion & garlic in 2 tbsp oil and cook for about a minute on low flame until fragrant 
  • now add all the vegetables, salt, pepper and soy sauce.
  • cook for about 10-12 minutes and transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to get rid of excess oil & moisture (do not skip this step!)
  • start preparing the spring rolls and shape them into tiny rolls like this:
  • deep fry until golden brown and serve hot with dip or chutney of your choice or ketchup works too.
