Notes
- observe the commands given in the packet of frozen spring roll for thawing. You can depart them outside to thaw earlier than starting to organize the filling.
- including sugar to the vegetables will aid to continue their color.
- You can add any greens you like for the filling. historically bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms are used alongside with other veggies.
- The whole system of cooking is carried out in high flame. Take care not to burn the veggies.
- The filling should be at room temperature and dry earlier than rolling.
- You can verify if the oil is hot adequate for frying by placing a wood skewer or chopstick in the oil. If bubble increases from the oil, then its hot sufficient to fry.
- Be careful while frying the spring rolls. If the oil is too hot the rolls can get burnt out simply. If the oil is not hot sufficient the texture of the spring rolls will not be good.
- While rolling the spring roll it should be a tight pack with no starting. Else the spring roll will get unwrapped or take up extra oil while frying.
