For all the fried spring roll lovers out there, this time we want to share two different ways of making fried spring rolls. For our vegetarian friends, we'll show you how to make fried tofu spring rolls, and for seafood lovers, we'll share the recipe for fried shrimp spring rolls.
Ingredients
- 1 block tofu
- 2 stalks spring onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 8 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 120 grams shrimp
- 16 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sunflower oil)
- 1 pack ready-made spring roll wrappers
Step-by-step instructions
1. Wash the tofu and cut it into equal-sized small pieces.
2. Then put it into a large bowl and mix thoroughly with the spring onion, soy sauce, and sugar.
If you, dear reader, don't want to eat fried tofu spring rolls and would rather have fried shrimp spring rolls, simply replace the tofu with shrimp.
For step (1), wash the shrimp and peel off the shells. Then for step (2), put it into a bowl and mix thoroughly with the spring onion, soy sauce, and sugar.
3. The next step is to wrap the spring rolls. Prepare 6 spring roll wrappers on a large cutting board. Moisten the edges of the wrappers with water.
4. Then place the filling you mixed in step (2) in the center of the wrapper. If you prepared the tofu filling, dear reader, add the tofu filling. If you prepared the shrimp filling, add the shrimp filling.
5. Then fold it in half from the center to form a triangle shape.
6. Then fold the two edges of the triangle over one another as shown in the picture.
7. Pour oil into a pot and heat it up. Once the oil is hot, add the spring rolls and fry until they turn golden brown.
8. Once the spring rolls have turned golden brown, remove them and place them on a plate. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy.
