Veg Spring rolls





You will need:
Store purchased frozen spring roll sheets( you will find this in the freezer section)
Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 30 mins,then carefully separate individual sheets and keep aside for use.
Veges needed for the filling:-
Cabbage-finely chopped/grated 1/4 cup
Carrot-finely chopped /grated 1/4 cup
Beans- - " - 1/4 cup
Green chilly 2-slit
Garlic-finely chopped-2 Tbsp
Ginger-Finely chopped-2 Tbsp
Onions-1/2 cup-finely chopped
Spring onions(they are called scallions in the US)-1/4 cup-finely chopped
Soy sauce-1 tsp
white vinegar-1 tsp
shiraka sauce or chilly sauce-2 tbsp or depending on your spice intake

Method:
Preparing the filling:-
Heat oil in a wok or a kadai.Keep the flame or heat on high.
Add chopped garlic,ginger,chillies and onions,saute for a minute,then immediately add the veges and spring onions.Saute for 3 mins.Sprinkle water and reduce heat to medium.Cover& cook for 5 mins.Make sure the veges do not stick and burn at the base of the pan.Once the veges are cooked add the soy sauce,shiraka/chilly sauce and white vinegar.Saute for further 3 mins.Check for salt.Since the soy sauce has already a certain amount of salt you need to be careful while adding salt to the cooked vegetable mixture.Allow the mixture to cool.
Now,spread out each sheet,follow the instructions given on the reverse of the package for rolling the sheets with the filling.each filling size -1 Tbsp -Do not over fill as this can tear the sheet.

Frying instructions:
Heat 8 Tbsp cooking oil ( preferably peanut oil)-in a shallow pan, and shallow fry the rolls.Do not over heat the oil as this will burn the rolls. Keep the flame/heat on a low.Drain out and transfer to a kitchen paper towel.
cut into pieces and serve hot with tomato ketchup.
