Vegetable Spring Rolls Step by Step Recipe

June 4, 2020 73 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Vegetable spring rolls are a classic Indo-Chinese Recipe that’s also popular in Thailand, served in restaurants and coffee shops. A cooked vegetable mixture is rolled into a spring roll casing and either deep fried or baked to get a crunchy, delicious, and addictive snack or appetizer (below pic updated on Dec 9th, ’13). If you want to make baked vegetable spring rolls instead of fried, that’s quite easy too. Please check notes below.

This Vegetable Spring Roll recipe has been in my drafts for the longest time. I had a few people email me asking me for the recipe for spring rolls and that’s when I realised how long it has been since I made them. In fact, after marriage, though I have tried many other snacks, spring rolls never featured anywhere.

If you want to make a quick and easy snack with a twist, try this spring roll dosa recipe.

I became lazy and bought the spring roll sheets from the supermarket which is probably not a bad thing after all. I have made these from scratch before, and while that’s not hard to do, it is a bit more time-consuming. In fact, if you buy spring roll sheets, the whole process of making vegetable spring rolls at home is very quick.

Description

Vegetable Spring Rolls Recipe, a quick and easy snack if you have pre-made spring roll wrappers. The filling is a breeze to make and highly customisable.


Ingredients

  • Mixed vegetables – 2 cups
  • Onions – 1/2 cup, sliced
  • Ginger garlic paste – 1 teaspoon
  • Soya sauce – 1 tablespoon
  • Chopped green chillies – 1
  • Salt and pepper – to taste
  • Oil – 1 tablespoon
  • A fistful of coriander leaves (cilantro)

Instructions

  1. Slice the vegetables into long pieces. I used carrots, beans, cabbage, peas, corn and capsicum
  2. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions until transparent and pink.
  3. Add the ginger garlic paste and fry for a few more seconds
  4. Next, add the vegetables and green chillies, sprinkle some water and cook closed until soft yet crunchy.
  5. Turn heat to high and add the soya sauce.
  6. Mix well for a minute on high.
  7. Lower heat. Mix in salt and pepper.
  8. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
  9. Remove from heat and set aside to cool
  10. Thaw your pastry sheets per package instructions
  11. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the filling per sheet and roll them (see pictures below)
  12. Deep fry until golden brown
  13. Serve hot with ketchup or chilli sauce

Notes

  • Make sure the vegetables don’t get overcooked and soggy. They should still be crunchy
  • Don’t add too much water to the vegetables, this will make the mixture too watery and soggy making it harder to roll
  • You can use any mix of vegetables for the filling you want. However, cabbage and capsicum really enhance the taste
  • TO MAKE BAKED SPRING ROLLS: if you are using store-bought spring roll pastry, this will get you results that are almost identical to deep frying. You do have to eat them hot and fresh though. I usually bake them for about 15-20 mins on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil at 180C. Just keep an eye on them and remove from oven when golden brown

Prepare your spring roll sheets per package instructions. I had to leave mine out to thaw to room temperature and then separate them.

Place one sheet on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Add about 2 tablespoons of the filling near the corner closest to you

Fold in the corner upwards and then bring in the side corners from right and left

Continue to roll up with a firm hand

Make sure the end is “stuck” to the pastry sheet firmly after you are done rolling. A drop of water may help.

Continue until all the filling is used up. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.

      Hello Neera, if you just want to keep one day, then you don’t have to freeze, just refrigerate. If you want to keep the spring rolls ready for frying for longer, you can freeze. Just leave them out for 30 mins or so before frying.

      i would recommend freezing it before frying. Just place in a container or ziplock and freeze it for up to 2 months. thaw a bit (maybe an hour) before frying

    Hi Indu, if you dont get pastry sheets where you live, just use this recipe to make pastry sheets from scratch.

    1/2 Cup maida (all purpose flour)
    • 1 Cup milk
    • A pinch Soda-bi-carb
    • 1/4 tsp Salt

    Mix these ingredients together well, make very thin pancakes of desired size, cool and use as I have used the pastry sheets here.

    Dibs – Filo pastry is more like puff pastry (from Google Image search!) so I don't think that will work. For this, the pastry needs to be soft and thin, without layers 🙂

    One of our family favorite.. never fail to order spring rolls when we are doing Asian; don't care if they are deep fried. Girl you have some patience to click every step, but its great & very helpful. Every time I wrap I think of wrapping a new born baby blanket;-) we used to call our girls, "egg roll" when they would be wrapped with the tiny head peeping put of the end.
