Vegetarian Crispy Spring Rolls (Homemade)
"When I have that chinese food craving, but don't want to indulge on very fatty convenience food. It's easy and open to a lot of alteration/add ons when it comes to vegetable.
Veganize by omitting the egg and increasing the water amount. Turns out nicely as well.
I like to use cabbage to my basic version.
I do not deep fry, just fry them with a little oil, they turn out nicely and crisp."
