Crispy Chicken Spring Roll Recipe

I can’t wait for you to try these homemade chicken spring rolls! They are light and crispy on the outside, full of the most delicious chicken and mushroom mixture. Don’t miss the dip sauce, either! It’s incredible!

These chicken spring rolls are fried (or fried) when you take a bite and can be super lightweight. They are more similar to Chinese spring rolls or Filipino goats and are not Vietnamese-style fresh rolls made of rice paper wrapping paper. We will use a flour-based wrapper to make these rolls (similar to the ravioli wrapper used to make ravioli cups).

Our chicken filling is deliciousThanks to a lot of garlic, scallions, mushrooms, oyster sauce and fresh vegetables. These taste so good that it’s hard to stop on one (or two)! Prepare yourself! For more recipes like this, see our Crab Yangon (too good!), or with something different, these Blt rice rolls.

Key Ingredients

  • Aromatic Studies: The bottom of our filling is a combination of garlic, shallot, shallot and shiitake mushrooms cooked with avocado oil and toasted sesame oil. The combination is great! If you can’t find the shallot, use yellow or sweet onions. If you can’t find shiitake mushrooms, use Cremini mushrooms.
  • chicken: You need ground chicken (or Turkish ground). Look for chicken with a little fat for the best texture and flavor. Slim or chicken breast works, but not as much juicy and flavor.
  • Fresh vegetables: You will throw away lettuce, carrots and coriander with cooled cooked chicken. These chefs once wrapped in rolls, but stay vulnerable. I also like the colors they add!
  • Oyster sauce: This will add to our fill and give it a salty, rich flavor. I really like the Lee Kum Lee Oyster sauce (a picture of the boat ahead).
  • Wrapping paper: Use square “spring rolls” or “lumpia” wrapping paper made of flour. Avoid rice paper wrapping paper, which is usually round and cannot be used in this recipe. You can use egg roll wrapping paper, but they will be thicker and may blister. The flour-based spring roll wrapping paper is crisper and has a lighter texture after frying.
  • Noodle: Look for “rice” or other thin rice noodles in the Asian food section of most grocery stores. Also, you can discard the seasoning pack using noodles from a single serving pack in my instant rice noodle soup package in my Thai kitchen (tips from chef Richard!).
  • Dipping sauce: We won’t make homemade spring rolls without homemade sauces, and one of our recipes is explosion! It combines honey, oyster sauce, Chinese mustard sauce, Gochujang and rice wine vinegar. Chinese mustard does make this sauce, so I highly recommend it. If you need a replacement, use English mustard. Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili sauce (we use it in homemade hoisin sauce). If not, use Sriracha.

How to Make Crispy Chicken Spring Rolls

Checking out the ingredients list in our recipes might make you think these chicken spring rolls are too hard, but keep it going! It’s simpler than it seems.

The first trick to make it as smooth as possible is to prepare all the fresh ingredients before cooking. This means you will chop garlic and scallions, chop green onions and mushrooms, and chop cabbage and carrots. Once in trouble, we will fly!

You will make the chicken mixture first. Start with the aromatics in the skillet (garlic, shallot, shallot and mushrooms). We added toasted sesame oil here to give it a flavor so things have started to smell incredible.

Next, add the ground chicken and break it into the pot with a wooden spoon. We want small debris, so keep moving around and breaking it down until it’s small. The final step in this mixture is to season with oyster sauce and salt. Then, let the skillet cool.

We will add thin rice flour to the filling, so we need to soften it in boiling water for a few minutes before adding them to the chicken mixture. We will also add chopped cabbage, carrots and coriander.

Now it’s time to scroll! Start with the corners facing each other (such as diamonds) and start with the wrapping paper in front of you. Then, add a few basil leaves and a bunch of filler at the bottom of the wrapping paper (close to you).

Add some eggs around the edges to wash, then fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, pulling it back slightly to create a comfortable roll. From here, you will fold on the sides and roll up. Don’t be surprised if you see tear occasionally. As long as more wrapping paper covers it, you’re OK.

It’s hard to just eat one of these crispy chicken spring rolls! They are everything I want in spring rolls: super delicious fillings, thin and crisp wrapping paper and the most delicious sweetness and rich dip. For absolute best results, fry these, but if you are against frying (I understand), you can cook it in an air fryer. They aren’t that fragile, but they still taste great!

direction

    1Before you start, make sure you prepare all the vegetables for later preparation.

    2Cooking mushrooms and chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil in a large skillet. Then add chopped garlic, shallot, shallot and shiitake mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are reduced and browned, about 8 minutes.

    3Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it down into pieces until it’s small (you don’t want to smash big). When the chicken is no longer pink and cooked, stir 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 2 minutes, then remove the skillet from heat and cool to room temperature.

    4Prepare noodles: Place the noodles in a bowl large enough and cover with boiling water. Let them stand for 3 minutes and drain. Cut the noodles in half (roughly) to make them easier to mix into the filling.

    5Make the spring roll fill: In a large bowl, add the cabbage, carrots, coriander, noodles and a cooled chicken and mushroom mixture. Mix everything nicely together, separate the noodles and spread throughout the filling (they like to stick together, so take a moment to pull them apart).

    6Wash eggs: Divide the eggs into a small bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside.

    7Roll spring roll: Unpack the wrapper and cover the wrapper with a wet tissue to avoid drying. Keep covering to prevent drying.

    8Remove a spring roll wrapper from under the damp tissue and place it on the work surface with a corner pointing directly to you like a diamond shape. If used, arrange 1 to 2 basil leaves in a single layer of the bottom third of the wrapping paper, closest to you. Fill a portion of the chicken onto the basil (if not using basil (if not using basil), forming a small mound in the center of the bottom third. Use your fingers or brush to gently apply the eggs along all four edges of the wrapping paper.

    9Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filler and pull it back slightly to create a comfortable roll. Fold the left and right sides of the wrapper over the filling, just like closing the envelope’s flap. Continue scrolling the wrapper upward, away from you until you reach the top corner. Press the top corner firmly on the rolling part to seal the spring roll.

    10Place the rolling spring roll on the sides, covered with more wet tissue to prevent drying when the roll is left.

    11Fry Spring Rolls: Heat the oil in a deep pan to 350°F (177°C), leaving a few inches from the top to prevent the oil from being added after the roll. Carefully pour 2 to 4 spring rolls into the oil and cook until golden brown for 4 to 5 minutes (they will darken when cool). Transfer to the wire rack and repeat in the remaining spring rolls.

    12Fry Spring Roll: Preheat the fryer to 390°F (198°C). Spray gently with cooking spray and fry for 10 to 15 minutes of crispness.

    13Make dipping sauce: Stir 6 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon Chinese mustard sauce, 1 teaspoon Gochujang and 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar in a small bowl. Serve with chicken spring rolls!

Adam and Joanne’s Tips

  • Wrapping paper: Use square “spring rolls” or “lumpia” wrapping paper made of flour (usually 8-inch square). Avoid rice paper wrapping paperusually round, does not work in this recipe. Egg roll wrappers are available, although they will be thicker and may blister. The flour-based spring roll wrapping paper is crisper and has a lighter texture after frying.
  • Noodle: Look for “rice” or other thin rice noodles in the Asian food section of most grocery stores. Also, you can discard the seasoning pack using the noodles from a single serving pack in my instant rice noodle soup packaged in my Thai kitchen.
  • Fill in advance: Fill in 2 days in advance. Keep the sealed container in the refrigerator.
  • Freeze instructions: Cool completely after cooking. Place fried or fried spring rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet (make sure they don’t touch each other). Freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until hard freeze, then transfer to a freezer safety bag or container, and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from freezing in a 375°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or fry at 375°F for 6 to 12 minutes (or until heated).
  • Frying tips: I fried my spring rolls with my fried dad (pictured above). I don’t blow it up at home often, but when I do, I love the ease and safety of it. It’s not very expensive and is sold online.
  • Cooperate with wrapping paper: They will be very thin, so they stick to each other well! I found a corner, slowly peeling off the rest of the stack. When you are not working with them, cover them on a wet tissue so they don’t dry out on you. They are very elastic, but you will cry as you roll. As long as the tears are covered with another roll of wrapping paper, it’s fine.
  • The following nutritional facts are estimated. We do not include oil because you can fry it in oil or use a fryer.
