Crispy Spring Rolls With Sweet Chilli Dip Recipe Card
Some say Chinese cuisine is 400,000 years old going back to the Peking Man and his use of fire. Some other accounts of the history of Chinese cuisine takes the beginning to the Chinese stone age. However today Chinese cuisine enjoys the distinction of being the most popular in the world.
All this furore about Chinese food can make one wonder what is so special about this cuisine. To put it in one word it is wholesome. It has the characteristics of being nutritious, economical, balanced and delicious. It cannot be gainsaid that Chinese food is popular the world over and it can be adapted into our modern lifestyles as the strong link between diet and health of body, mind and spirit is epitomized in Chinese cookery. We all desire harmony in our lives and this works on the ancient Taoist principle of Yin and Yang in which balance and contrast are the key. Each Chinese dish reflects a balance of taste, texture, aroma and colour. Be it sweet, sour, pungent, hot, salty or spicy – all the six basic flavours are incorporated deftly in all Chinese dishes.

Ingredients for Crispy Spring Rolls With Sweet Chilli Dip Recipe
Spring roll wrappers 10-12
Egg 1
Rice vermicelli 1/4 cup
Oil 3 tablespoons
Ginger chopped 1 inch piece
Spring onions 2
Carrot grated 1 medium
Bean sprouts 1/4 cup
Spinach chopped 8-10 leaves
Fresh coriander leaves chopped a few sprigs
Soy sauce 2 tablespoons
Salt to taste
White pepper powder 1/4 teaspoon
MSG optional 1/4 teaspoon
Oil to deep fry
Sweet chilli dip
Sugar 1/4 cup
Fresh red chillies 2
Salt to taste
Rice vinegar 1/2 cup
Method
Step 1
For the dipping sauce place sugar in a small saucepan with one fourth cup of water. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil it gently till it forms a light syrup. Stir in the red chillies, salt and rice vinegar and set aside to cool thoroughly.
Step 2
Break the egg, whisk lightly and set aside. Boil the vermicelli in sufficient water with one tablespoon of oil till almost cooked, drain, refresh in cold water and keep aside. Heat the remaining oil in a wok, add ginger and sauté for fifteen seconds.
Step 3
Add the spring onions and carrots and sauté for a few minutes. Add the bean sprouts, spinach, coriander, soy sauce and boiled vermicelli and stir for another minute. Add salt, pepper powder and MSG and mix.
Step 4
Set aside to cool. Place a spring roll wrapper on the work surface. Put two tablespoons of filling in the middle. Fold over the wrapper to encase the filling completely. Fold in each side, then roll up tightly.
Step 5
Brush the end with egg to seal (you can use a paste of refined flour and water to replace egg). Repeat until all the filling has been used. Heat sufficient oil in a wok and deep-fry the spring rolls in batches until golden and crisp.
Step 6
Drain on an absorbent paper. Serve hot with the sweet chilli dip.
