Spring Rolls

Homemade Spring Rolls

One day we, me and my sister, decided to make spring rolls, one of our favourite foods. I know, the easiest way is to get pre-made frozen spring rolls from the store, but I have never really liked the taste of readymade, frost bitten vegetarian spring rolls and do prefer the FRESH HOME MADE ones instead! So I thought I would share the spring roll recipe with you.

The ingredients for noodles (filling) are:

• 500 grams of noodles
• 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
• 1 table spoon of grated ginger
• 1 onion cut into long pieces
• Each ½ cup portions (beans, carrots, green pepper, mushroom, zucchini, and corns) cut into small pieces
• 1 chopped green chilli
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce
• ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil
• And a little bit of chopped coriander

The method to cook the noodles is

1. Boil the noodles
2. Once they are cooked, let the water drain and keep them on the side
3. Heat some vegetable oil in a pan on medium heat
4. Add garlic, ginger, and onions in the pan and few minutes later add turmeric and then cook them until light brown
5. Then add all the vegetables into pan. Cook all the vegetables for 10-15 minutes
6. Add green chilli, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, salt and black pepper
7. Once it is cooked well, add boiled noodles and mix
8. Finally, garnish with coriander.

Now the ingredients to make the wrappers are:

• 1 bowl of fine flour (Maida)
• tablespoons of semolina
• 2-3 pinches of baking powder
• Salt, grounded cumin to taste
• Prepared noodles Vegetable oil to fry

Method to cook the pastry or cover for spring rolls:

1. Take a bowl and mix all the ingredients and add little bit water to form the batter
2. Make thin round pancakes then place some filling on a pancake end to end
3. Fold the ends and hold, then roll in a tight roll
4. Seal the edges with water (or a paste of cornflour and water) to prevent it from opening
5. Deep fry till golden brown
6. Cut into convenient sized pieces

Like magic! The spring rolls are ready to serve with tomato, hot or chilli sauce, YUMMY!

The alternative, if you don’t like to eat fried foods, then you can bake them in the oven.
