Vegetarian Crispy Spring Rolls (Homemade) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    125 g flour
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 egg
    150 ml hot water
    salt
    oil (canola or peanut for baking)
    200 g firm tofu (crumbled)
    1 carrot (julienned, or tiny cubes)
    1 small red onion (chopped thinly in cubes)
    3 garlic cloves (minced)
    100 g bean sprouts (chopped roughly)
    soy sauce (dark and light if preferred)
    sambal oelek
    sesame oil (to your liking)
    oil (canola or peanut for frying)
Preparation
    Dough/Rolls.
    Add flour and corn starch to a bowl.
    Add salt and then hot water.
    Stir until dough forms.
    Optional: add 1 egg and beat until batter is of creamy consistency.
    Heat oil in a pan and add batter with a spoon and let dough cover the pan thinly.
    Bake like pancakes on both sides until dough has set.
    I usally get 6-8 spring roll wrappers out of this batter.
    Stuffing.
    Heat oil in a pan, add onion, carrots and garlic and let fry until translucent.
    Add crumbled tofu (minced meat consistency/shape) and stir.
    Add soy sauce(s), sambal oelek (to taste, I like a lot) and sesame oil.
    Let fry until hot.
    Now add beansprouts and take off heat.
    Add filling to pancake/roll wrappers and fold edges in and roll up.
    Heat oil (just cover the pan with oil) and fry spring rolls until lightly browned and crisp.
