Chive spring rolls, a beloved dim sum classic, offer a crispy, savory bite with fresh, aromatic flavors. Here’s a simple guide to crafting them at home.
Ingredients:
- 20 spring roll wrappers
- 200g fresh chives, finely chopped
- 100g minced pork (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ tsp white pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil for frying
Steps:
1. Prepare the filling: Sauté minced pork in a pan until cooked. Add chives, soy sauce, and white pepper; stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant. Let cool slightly.
2. Wrap the rolls: Place a wrapper diagonally. Add 1-2 tbsp filling near the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tucking it in tightly. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a cylinder. Seal the end with beaten egg.
3. Fry to perfection: Heat oil to 170°C (340°F). Deep-fry rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy hot with sweet chili sauce or duck dipping sauce. These golden rolls are perfect as appetizers or snacks, combining the earthy taste of chives with a satisfying crunch.
*Tip: Keep wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying. For extra crispiness, double-wrap the filling before frying.*
