Chicken, Corn, and Cheese Spring Rolls are crispy and flavorful appetizers filled with a delicious mixture of chicken, corn, beansprouts, cheese, and spices, wrapped in spring roll wrappers and deep-fried to perfection.
1 Onion
30ml Sunflower Oil
4 Garlic cloves
30ml Finely Grated Ginger
1 red chili
400g Chicken Breast
200ml beansprouts
125ml Fresh Coriander
125ml Chopped spring onion
250ml Cheddar cheese
1 tin Corn Kernels
30ml Corn Flour
24 spring roll wrappers
Water and flour paste (quantity not specified)
Saute the onion in the oil until cooked and starting to brown, then add the ginger and garlic. Cook for another minute then add the chicken and chili.
Stir fry until the chicken is cooked. Season well with salt and black pepper.
Add the beansprouts and cook until they are starting to wilt.
Remove from the heat and cool.
Add the coriander, spring onion, cheese and the corn and lastly mix in the corn flour.
Separate the spring roll sheets from one another and cover them with a damp cloth.
Make a paste with water and flour.
Place the spring roll wrapper on a flat surface so that a corner is facing toward you. Use about two tablespoons of the filling per spring roll, and spoon it about 5 cm from the corner that is closest to you.
Roll it over once, and, like you’re making a burrito, then fold over both sides.
Continue rolling it into a cigar shape. With your fingers, brush a bit of the corn starch paste onto the corners of the wrapper that is farthest from you to seal it.
Heat enough sunflower oil in a deep fryer to 160°C and fry the spring rolls until golden brown and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with a dipping sauce.
The spring rolls will also freeze very well.
