It has been a long time since i posted a recipe, and i actually have no excuse for that. I have been preparing these vegetable spring rolls (240 done) for my little neices 2nd birthday party, and thought it would be the ideal recipe for “MeatLess Monday”
Vegetable Spring Rolls
35ml sesame oil
7ml crushed garlic
10ml crushed ginger
500ml finely chopped cabbage
125ml rice noodles
500ml grated carrots
5ml zeal
5ml soya sauce
500ml chopped pak choi
5ml salt
250ml chopped mung bean sprouts
1 packet of spring roll pastry
Method
- Heat oil in a large heavy based pot, add the garlic and ginger and lower heat
- Add the cabbage, stir and cover the pot for 2-3 minute, allowing the cabbage to start cooking
- Now add the carrots and the raw rice noodles and cover the pot and allow to cook for about 5minutes
- Add the pak choi and mix thoroughly
- Remove from heat and season with zeal, soya sauce and salt and allow the mixture to cool thoroughly
- Once cold, mix in the sprouts and about 35ml of the mixture to a sheet of pastry (it is much better to cut each square of pastry into two rectangles and this way you get small dainty spring rolls) and roll up to form a spring roll.
- The filled spring rolls can be frozen and used as required
- Deep fry before serving with a sweet chilli sauce or as a healthy option bake in a hot oven for about 10minutes instead of deep frying.

Yes it does, i just sit at the breakfast nook and listen to some good hindi music and get it done. I actually did them in 3 batches.
They are not that difficult and a very tasty snack.
