• To create perfect crispy spring rolls, begin by selecting the freshest ingredients. Start with a filling of finely chopped vegetables, such as carrots, cabbage, and spring onions, along with a protein of your choice, whether that's minced chicken, prawns, or tofu. Season the mixture with soy sauce, garlic, and a dash of sesame oil for an authentic flavour boost.

    Next, lay out your spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. For easy folding, keep a small bowl of water handy to seal the edges. A good technique is to place a spoonful of filling towards one corner of the wrapper, fold it over, and then roll tightly while tucking in the sides to prevent any spillage.

    Once your rolls are prepared, it's time to fry. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep pan until it reaches around 180°C (350°F). Carefully lower the spring rolls into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. They should only need about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and irresistibly crispy.

    Finally, drain the rolls on kitchen paper to remove any excess oil, and serve them hot with a sweet chilli dipping sauce or a tangy vinegar dip for an extra kick. Enjoy your beautifully crispy spring rolls, a delightful treat for any occasion!
