Spring Rolls | Veg Spring Rolls | Indo Chinese Recipe

Veg Spring rolls , crispy and flaky pastry filled with delicious vegetable fillings. It's one of the famous starter recipes across the world and you can make literally hundred varieties of spring rolls by varying the stuffing you choose to fill the pastry. 

Today in this recipe, i have chosen cabbage and carrot as stuffing.It's so simple and you can make this as a quick snack for your guests or as a starter for your lunch, it's really a crowd pleasing dish and i often make them for parties & pot luck.


When making the spring rolls at home, the rolling part is only the time consuming task, rest of all can make it really quick. Also you can make the stuffings for the spring rolls ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator or fill the sheets with stuffings , roll it and store it in the freezer. So that you can make it whenever needed without worrying about a lot of things to make.




Spring Roll Sheets


When comes to spring roll sheets, i have never prepared the sheets at home so far, always use the store brought frozen ones and it works well for me. But definitely will try homemade spring sheets someday :-). 

While rolling the spring rolls, make sure to cover the rest of the spring roll sheets with damp cloth because it's easily get dried. Once it's dried, then it's really hard to work with it. 


Soy Sauce

Next, when it comes to soy sauce, i always prefer less sodium soy sauce, that way even if you added extra soy sauce for more flavor, the salt in the recipe wouldn't be more. 

Also, the soy sauce is the main flavor in the spring roll, so try to use good quality soy sauce.Here in the recipe, i'm using kikkomon soy sauce.  Now let's see how to make this delicious spring roll!
