Spring Rolls

Recipe Link: http://www.recipe-a-day.com/

List of Ingredients




1 mild Green Chili (or hot if you prefer)
3 oz. Chicken Breast, cooked
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (divided)
1 Onion, finely chopped
1 clove Garlic, crushed
1 Carrot, julienne
1 Scallion or Green Onion, finely sliced
1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded and julienne
1 oz. Bean Sprouts
1 tsp. Sesame Oil
4 sheets Filo Pastry
1 Egg White, lightly beaten
Soy Sauce, to serve




Recipe



Slice the green chili in half and remove the seeds. (If you elected to prepare your spring rolls with a hot chili, be sure to wear a plastic glove.)

Using a sharp knife, slice the cooked chicken breast into thin strips. Heat a wok or heavy skillet with two tablespoons of the vegetable oil over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic, and then the chicken strips, and stir-fry for about a minute. (When the oil sizzles and browns a cube of fresh bread, then the oil is hot and you're ready to stir-fry.)

Add the julienne carrots, scallion slices, and red bell pepper to the wok or heavy skillet and stir-fry for about two minutes. Add the bean sprouts, stir in the teaspoon of sesame oil, and remove the cooking container from the heat to let the mixture cool.

Meanwhile, cut each sheet of filo pastry into five short strips. When the filling is cool enough for you to easily handle it, place a small amount of the filling at one end of each strip. Fold in the long sides of the pastry and then roll the filling to the end of the pastry. Seal and glaze each spring roll with the egg white. Repeat the process until you have used all the filling and filo dough.

Refrigerate the spring rolls for at least 15 minutes prior to frying. Wipe the wok or skillet clean and add the remaining vegetable oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the spring rolls and fry them in small batches until they are crisp and brown. Drain the fried spring rolls on paper towels and serve warm with soy sauce for dipping.

Kitchen Staff Tip: Double the batch and freeze several servings of spring rolls for easy use with your Chinese cookery throughout the month. Simply prepare the recipe as directed and store several portions in airtight bags to freeze. You don't even have to let them thaw completely before frying, serving, and enjoying them.(Makes 20 Small Rolls)
