Chicken Spring Rolls With Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Soak cellophane noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, until tender.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute. Add chicken, carrots, cabbage, and soy sauce and cook 2 minutes, until vegetables wilt. Stir in noodles and scallions and toss to combine.
• Arrange spring roll wrappers on a flat surface. Top each wrapper with an equal amount of chicken mixture across the center (from point to point). Roll up bottom point, tuck in sides and roll up. Using moistened fingers, wet the last point and roll up to seal.
• Arrange lettuce leaves in the bottom of a steamer basket or colander over simmering water. Place spring rolls on lettuce, cover and steam 5 minutes, until wrappers are translucent.

CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS WITH HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook rice in water as directed on package. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix hoisin sauce, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, garlic and gingerroot. In medium bowl, mix chicken, coleslaw, carrots and onions; set aside.
• Fill pie plate with water. Place 1 spring roll wrapper in water 45 to 60 seconds or until pliable but not completely softened. Gently remove wrapper from water, shaking to drain excess water; place on damp paper towel. Place 1 cilantro leaf in center of wrapper. Spoon about 2 tablespoons cooked rice in a row about 4 inches long over cilantro leaf. Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken mixture on rice; press into log shape. Pull wrapper over filling; bring up the 2 ends and roll up, tucking in loose ends. Repeat.
• Serve immediately with hoisin sauce mixture.

THAI CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup peanut sauce, ginger, garlic, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a bowl. Add the chicken and mix until the chicken is coated. Place in refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 teaspoon peanut oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Cook the snow peas, bean sprouts and green onion in the oil until heated but still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Mix in the watercress and cilantro. Use a vegetable peeler to have long slices of carrot into the watercress mixture. Drizzle 1 teaspoon soy sauce into the watercress mixture; toss to coat.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil to the wok or skillet. Cook the marinated chicken until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
• Fill a large bowl with hot water. Dip wrappers one at a time into the water for about 2 seconds each. As wrappers are removed from the water, fill each with 2 large spoonfuls of the chicken and a small handful of the watercress mixture. Fold in two opposite ends of the wrapper to meet the filling. Then fold the bottom of the wrapper over the top of the filling and roll. Serve with 1/2 cup peanut sauce for dipping.

SPRING ROLL DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water, garlic, green onions, sesame oil, sugar, and ginger in a small mixing bowl. Mix well, adding additional hoisin sauce to thicken mixture to your desired consistency if needed. Cover the sauce and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
• Before serving, pour mixture into a small saucepan and heat. Serve warm.

CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS WITH GARLIC SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients for the dipping sauce and set aside.
• Heat oil in skillet or wok over high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, cabbage, carrot, scallions and bean sprouts. Cook for 2 minutes or until the cabbage is just limp.
• Add the noodles and chicken; continue to cook until heated through.
• Stir in the hoisin and oyster sauces; toss to coat the mixture. The filling should be moist, but not wet. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Toss in chopped cilantro.
• Place a Vietnamese spring roll wrapper in a pan of hot (not boiling) water for about 15 seconds. Remove and place on plate. If using square wrappers, position one corner toward yourself. If round, it doesn't matter. :o).
• Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling near the bottom (or corner near you) of the wrapper and fold up to enclose the filling. Fold in the left and right sides, then roll up the remainder of the way.
• Serve with Garlic-Soy Dipping Sauce.

LUMPIA AYAM SAYUR (CHICKEN AND GARLIC SPRING ROLLS)

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a heatproof bowl and pour over boiling water. Leave to soak for 10 minutes (or follow the packet instructions). Once softened, drain and return to the bowl, tossing in a little oil to prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over a high heat and add the mince. Stirring continuously, fry the ground chicken until cooked through and well browned. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat another 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over a medium-high heat, add the mushrooms and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Add the carrots and bean sprouts and stir for 1 minute, then add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minute. Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the noodles and spring onions, stirring for a further 1 minute. Finally, add the kecap manis, oyster sauce, fish sauce and lime juice, then continue to cook for a further 2 minutes or until the sauce is clinging to the meat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. (It is better for the filling to taste fairly strong at this stage because the spring roll wrapper absorbs a lot of the flavor during cooking.) Set aside to cool.
• Lay a clean tea towel over the spring roll wrappers to prevent them from drying out. Line a tray with baking parchment. Cut a chunk of banana with the skin on to use as glue for the spring roll. (Alternatively, you can use beaten egg.) Peel one wrapper off the top of the pile and lay it on a chopping board, facing you like a diamond. Place 1-2 tablespoons of the filling on the bottom third of the wrapper. Roll the bottom corner of the wrapper up over the filling and then continue rolling until you reach the middle. Fold in the left and right corners, then rub the flesh of the banana along the edges of the exposed top corner of the wrapper. (If using beaten egg, brush this on instead.) Finish rolling up the rest of the wrapper and seal the final corner. Place the spring roll on the tray. Repeat with more wrappers until all the filling is used up.
• Fill a deep saucepan one-third full with oil. Heat the oil to 320°F/160°C. (If you do not have a kitchen thermometer, check the oil is at temperature by adding a cube of bread; it should turn golden in 25-30 seconds.)
• Carefully lower 4-6 spring rolls into the hot oil, without overcrowding the pan. Deep-fry for 4-6 minutes or until golden all over. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining spring rolls. Serve immediately, with sambal or dipping sauce, if you like.
• Do Ahead: The spring rolls can be frozen in a single layer on a tray, then piled into a bag or container and kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. If cooking from frozen, cook for 6-7 minutes, or until golden. Once cooked they last for up to 2 days in the fridge and can be reheated in the oven for 10 minutes at 325°F/170°C/150°C fan/gas 3.
• Variations
• Vegetable spring rolls: Omit the ground meat from the recipe and instead triple the quantity of carrots, shiitake and bean sprouts. The remaining ingredients should stay the same. If you want to make the recipe vegetarian, replace the oyster sauce and fish sauce with light soy sauce, adding a little at a time until you are happy with the flavor. Once added to the pan, simmer to reduce this extra soy sauce for a couple of minutes.
• Pan-fried spring rolls: Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat. Gently place the prepared spring rolls in the hot oil, cooking in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan. Continue turning the spring rolls in the hot oil until they are golden all over, about 5 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer to a tray lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, then to a baking tray lined with baking parchment, and finish cooking in the oven for 7-10 minutes.
