Serves: 10 spring rolls
Ingredients
- Spring roll wrappers
- Cooked chicken (shredded)
- Cooked rice
- Carrots (julienned)
- Green onions (sliced)
- Soy sauce
- Oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Ensure the cooked chicken is shredded into small pieces, and the cooked rice is cooled to room temperature. Julienne the carrots and slice the green onions. Set everything aside in separate bowls for easy access.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked rice, julienned carrots, and sliced green onions. Drizzle soy sauce over the mixture, starting with about 2 tablespoons. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more soy sauce if desired.
- Lay out a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface or a cutting board. Position the wrapper so that one corner is facing you, creating a diamond shape. This will make it easier to roll the spring rolls.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and rice filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Be careful not to overfill, as this can make rolling difficult.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, tucking it in gently. Then, fold in the two side corners towards the center, creating a pocket. Finally, roll the wrapper away from you, keeping it tight around the filling. Seal the edge of the wrapper with a little water to ensure it stays closed. Repeat this process until all the filling is used up.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. You’ll need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, about 1/4 inch deep. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of spring roll wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- Carefully place the spring rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the spring rolls from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Allow the spring rolls to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
- Enjoy your homemade Chicken Fried Rice Spring Rolls!
Tips
- Keep your ingredients cool and dry: Ensure your cooked rice is at room temperature to prevent soggy wrappers.
- Don't overfill: Use about 2 tablespoons of filling per spring roll to maintain the perfect roll and prevent tearing.
- Seal edges carefully: Use water to seal the wrapper edges, ensuring they stay closed during frying.
- Oil temperature is crucial: Heat oil to around 350-375°F (175-190°C) for the crispiest results.
- Fry in batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain consistent oil temperature and achieve even browning.
- Drain excess oil: Use paper towels to remove extra oil and keep your spring rolls crisp and not greasy.
- Experiment with dipping sauces: Try sweet chili, soy, or peanut sauce to complement the flavors.
- Make ahead and freeze: Uncooked spring rolls can be frozen for up to a month, making meal prep a breeze!
