Crispy Fried Chicken Spring Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 medium carrot (shredded)
1 small cabbage (shredded)
100 g mushrooms, thinly sliced
200 g cooked chicken (shredded)
1 pinch white pepper
3 teaspoons caster sugar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons cornflour
30 spring roll wrappers
vegetable oil (for frying)

Preparation

Heat the peanut oil in a wok. When hot, stir fry the carrot for 1 minute. Add the cabbage, mushroom, and chicken and fry for another minute, stirring all of the time.
Season with a little pepper; add the sugar, both soy sauces and the sesame oil.
Combine 2 tsp of the cornflour with about 3 tbsp of water and stir into the filling while still on the heat. Any juices will soon thicken. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
Combine remaining cornflour with enough water to make a thin paste. Lay out a spring roll wrapper and put 1 tbsp of filling across one end. brush the edges of the wrapper with cornflour liquid to help it stick.
Fold the two opposite edges of the wrapper over part of the filling and roll into a tight cylinder. Pinch the edges together to form a good seal.
Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer, and cook rolls in batches until golden and crisp.
