We have a serious issue here. It is out of control. If my husband isn't eating Chinese out, he is requesting I make it at home. WHEN WILL THE MADNESS STOP?!!? I love it too but can't we just have spaghetti again?!!?
So I decided to make spring rolls. Who doesn't love spring rolls? Well, I do and I wanted to create the magic at home! I am convinced I can invent a way to fry stuff without oil. I will get back to you on it.....
Here is what you will need for my version of the spring roll folks...
1/2 lbs ground chicken
2 green onions, minced
1/4 cup carrots, grated
1 cup bok choy, shredded
1/4 tsp white pepper (or black)
1 clove of garlic, grated
1/8 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp soy sauce
Spring roll wrappers
peanut oil for frying
Brown your chicken, season with salt pepper, garlic salt, and ginger. I felt like I needed both garlic and regular salt, yes, I know, cut one out if you choose or use garlic powder instead. When it is done transfer to a bowl, you will add the bok choy, carrots, soy sauce and green onions. Combine thoroughly. Open your spring roll wrappers and keep them covered with a damp paper towel so they don't dry out. Here is what you do next!

Here they are, I got 7 spring rolls but I would just shoot for 6 next time!
Heat 2-3 cups of peanut oil to 350 degrees. Fry approximate 2 minutes on each side or until they have reached the color you want. Remember everything inside is already cooked!

Great job, Chefwannabe! Please let me know as soon as you find out how to fry the spring rolls without using oil. I tried putting them in the oven once but it did not turn out that good. "Salad Master" has a "no-oil frying pan" but it's too expensive here in our country. It's a good investment, though. I'm from Manila, Philippines.
