Mini Chicken Spring Rolls
Spring rolls are crispy appetizers or snacks famous in Asia, especially in Middle Eastern and South Asian countries. It comes from Chinese chūn juǎn which people love to eat.
Spring rolls come in variety due to different stuffing but cabbage is mandatory to make the filling. I have seen so many variations in spring rolls making. Many people ask; why is it called spring rolls. As I know, it's a famous Chinese roll that most people eat during the spring season and famous food of spring festival in China.
Spring rolls can be prepared deep-fried, pan or shallow-fried, nonfried (steamed), and as baked rolls.
It's simple and easy to make homemade spring rolls and you can prepare in bulk to store in freezer for later use. For this, you just need to prepare filling or stuffing and need a spring roll sheet or wrapper that you can buy from store to save time otherwise you can make the spring roll sheet at home.
I personally love to eat spring rolls so make it at home and freeze for later use. Whenever the guest comes, my platter always has spring rolls to serve. It hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare. Take out from the freezer, Microwave for 5 minutes, and then frying... I also make variation in taste just by adding spices to make it Indian and Pakistani flavor. Indian spring roll are more spicy and tangy in taste compared with other.
How to Make Mini Spring Rolls
To make the mini spring roll sheet, you need 3 major ingredients;
spring roll sheet/wrappers, oil for frying, and stuffing. That's it!!
I used a whole wheat spring roll sheet, you can buy it from any store or you can use homemade wrappers which is also easy. I went for ready-made option as it's easy and super quick to prepare so many rolls in one go.
Preparation of Chicken Stuffing
First, saute the chicken with garlic, salt and peppers then add the vegetables (Cabbage, carrot, and green bell peppers). Added dark soya sauce and cornstarch and mix well on high heat. Don't cook for long otherwise, the vegetable will not be crunchy in texture.
Let's Wrap the Rolls
Then makes the roll by placing the stuffing in middle. Wrapping or making of rolls is so easy as I showed 3 methods to roll the spring rolls. 3rd one was so easy and super quick and makes a secure roll that will not open or deform during frying.
Deep Frying the Spring Rolls
Yes, now we are ready to fry the rolls. In a deep pan/wok, pour oil for deep frying and let it heat up for few minutes. On the medium temperature, add the rolls one by one in a wok (don't overcrowd). Give a flip as one side is golden fried. Make sure to make an even frying color. Take out on absorbent paper. Serve and enjoy!
Here are my frying tips and techniques that can help beginners.
How to Deep Fry at Home
How to Cook Spring Rolls in Air Fryer
Spray the air fryer tray with oil and place the mini spring rolls one by one at some distance. Avoid placing one over the other. Again give a good spray of cooking oil at the top of the rolls so it maintains the crisp after frying. Air fry all the rolls at 200°C or 392°F for 15 minutes. Don't forget to flip the side after 7 minutes to cook from another side.

Easy Tips
- Don't use old wrappers as they can break during making rolls or while frying.
- Avoid cooking vegetables for long as they will get soggy and lose the crunch.
- Wrapping of roll is important! In the video, you can watch 3 different methods to wrap spring rolls.
- Fry rolls on medium heat to get a crispy texture for a long time.

Many people relate spring rolls with summer rolls but both are different. Spring rolls made with flour dough while the summer rolls made with rice wrappers. In the same way, baked spring roll (also the fresh) are more healthy as compare to deep fried.
How to Store
You can store the rolls right after making them before frying. In a video (03:45 - 04:05), I shared the method to store the spring rolls. Right after making, place in a container. Sprinkle little flour to avoid clutter and place in the freezer for an hour. After an hour, shuffle the rolls (in this way, it will not stick) and freeze for 15 days. When you need it, take it out, microwave for 5 minutes and fry!
