  • Place a wok or a large deep frying pan on medium heat. Add oil, garlic, ginger, and onions and sautĆ© until lightly golden, for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients except for noodles. Continuously toss and cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes.

2. Assemble the Spring Rolls

  • Meanwhile, remove the dough from the bowl, knead again, and form equal size balls. Dust the wooden surface with some flour and use a rolling pin to roll each ball into thin rotis.
  • Add about a spoonful of veggie noodles, fold the sides, apply flour water slurry (mix 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour with 4 Tbsp water, mix thoroughly to remove any lumps) to seal the edges, and gently roll in the shape of a spring roll.
  • Repeat this process until you have used all the filling or wrappers.

āœ”ļø Tips for Perfect Vegetable Spring Rolls

To achieve the best results when making vegetable spring rolls, consider the following tips:

  • Rolling spring rolls can be a bit tricky at first, but with practice, you’ll master the technique. Remember to roll the wrappers thinly but not too thin and fold them tightly, ensuring the filling is compact. Avoid overstuffing the rolls, as it can lead to breakage during cooking. Additionally, sealing the edges with a flour-water mixture is crucial to prevent the rolls from unraveling.
  • If you don’t prefer to make the wrappers from scratch, buy readymade sheets.
  • You can also add tofu or paneer to the filling.
  • Choose the cooking method that suits your taste preferences and dietary needs. Deep-frying spring rolls results in a crispy and golden exterior while baking yields a lighter and healthier version. If baking, lightly brush or spray the spring rolls with oil to promote browning.
  • Cook the spring rolls on low-medium heat to fully cook them and turn them crispy.

šŸ³ Equipment Needed

  • KadhaiĀ ā€“ I recommend a food-grade deep stainless steel kadhai for deep frying rolls.
  • Stainless Steel Cooking and Serving Spoon SetĀ ā€“ I recommend getting a 3-piece cooking spoon set; ideal for stirring, serving, ladling, flipping, and skimming.

ā” Commonly Asked Questions

Can I make vegetable spring rolls in advance?

Yes, you can make vegetable spring rolls in advance. Prepare the rolls as instructed and arrange them on a baking sheet. Cover the sheet with a cling wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to cook them. The rolls can be stored for up to 24 hours before frying or baking.

Can I freeze vegetable spring rolls?

Vegetable spring rolls can be frozen for future use. After assembling the rolls, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm. Once frozen, transfer them to a sealed container or freezer bag. Frozen spring rolls can be stored for up to 2-3 months. To cook, fry them directly from frozen or bake them without thawing.

What are the best dipping sauces for spring rolls?

There are several delicious dipping sauces that pair well with spring rolls. Some popular options include sweet chili sauce, peanut sauce, soy sauce mixed with a squeeze of lime juice or just ketchup. Feel free to experiment with different combinations and find your preferred dipping sauce.

Can I air fry or bake these spring rolls in the oven?

In my experience, baking in the oven doesn’t yield crispy rolls but air frying can. Lightly brush the rolls with oil and air fry according to the instructions.
