Helpful Tips
- Keep the filling ingredients dry: To ensure the spring roll wrappers stay crispy, thoroughly pat dry the filling ingredients, such as vegetables and proteins, before assembling the rolls. Excess moisture can lead to soggy spring rolls.
- Seal the rolls tightly: When rolling the spring rolls, ensure a tight seal to prevent the filling from spilling out during frying. Tuck in the sides of the wrapper as you roll and use a small amount of water or egg wash to seal the edges securely.
- Fry at the right temperature: Fry the spring rolls in hot oil (around 350-375°F or 175-190°C) to achieve a crispy, golden exterior. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in greasy spring rolls. You can also food these using less oil in the air fryer with this recipe.

Crispy Chicken Spring Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons cooking oil
- 3 ounces ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 ounce rice vermicelli noodles cooked according to the package
- 1 tablespoon water
- 8 spring roll wrappers
- Cooking oil spray

Instructions
- Add the cooking oil to a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until nearly done, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic to the pan.
Add the green onions, carrot, sugar, fish sauce, and oyster sauce to the pan. Stir and cook for one minute. - Add the rice noodles and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Arrange a wrapper with one point facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the left corner over the filling. Fold the right corner over that. Fold the corner facing you over the top of the filling. Brush some water onto the remaining edges. Finish rolling tightly.
- For the stovetop, heat an inch of oil in a skillet to 375 degrees F. Add the spring rolls and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until crispy and golden.
- For the air fryer: Place the spring rolls into the air fryer basket, seam-side down. Spray with cooking oil. Cook on 380°F (195°C) for 8 minutes, flipping and spraying halfway through cooking, until the spring rolls are crisp and golden brown on all sides.
- Serve with sweet chili sauce.
