How to Make Chicken Spring Rolls
- Prepare the filling: In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the shredded cabbage, carrot, and bean sprouts. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the cabbage is slightly softened but still crisp.
- Add the cooked rice noodles and shredded chicken. Stir to combine and heat through (about 2 minutes).
- Stir in the hoisin and oyster sauces. Toss to coat evenly. The filling should be moist but not soggy.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely. Stir in the chopped coriander.
- Assemble the spring rolls: Lay a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface diagonally (diamond shape).
- Place 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper near the bottom corner.
- Fold the bottom corner up over the filling. Then fold in the two side corners.
- Brush the top edge of the wrapper with the beaten egg.
- Tightly roll up the spring roll to form a cylinder.
- Fry the spring rolls: Pour enough vegetable oil (about 1 inch) into a large skillet or wok to reach a depth of 1 inch and heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the spring rolls to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
