Ingredients

  • ¾ cup Tofu cut into tiny pieces
  • 2 cups Cabbage very finely chopped
  • 2 Carrot very finely chopped
  • 2 Scallion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon Sugar I used brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Cornstarch
  • ¼ cup Water
  • All purpose flour and water mixture – to seal the wrappers
  • 2 tablespoon Oil Plus more for deep frying

Instructions

  • Thaw the spring roll package as per instructions. I kept mine in the refrigerator the night before and it thawed well.
  • Chop all the vegetables and tofu into very fine pieces.
  • In a small bowl, mix water, soy sauce, sugar and corn starch and keep it aside.
  • In a pan, heat 2 tablespoon of oil and add the chopped tofu. Let it cook until it is evenly browned.
  • Now add the cabbage, carrots and the scallions and stir fry for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are half way cooked.
  • Now add the corn starch mixture to the pan and mix well to coat. The sauce will thicken in about 2 minutes and everything will come together. At this stage, turn off the flame and let the filling cool entirely.
  • In a small bowl add about 3 tablespoon of water and 2 teaspoon of all purpose flour and mix well. This will be the mixture to seal the edges. I used this instead of egg wash. If you are fine using eggs, then use egg wash to seal the edges.
  • Take a single wrapper and place it like a diamond with a pointed edge facing you.
  • Place about a tablespoon of filling on the top half of the diamond (close to you).
  • Fold the edge over the filling and tuck it underneath the filling. Now brush all the remaining three sides with egg wash or flour wash (I wonder how I came up with that name).
  • Fold over the 2 sides inside to enclose the filling (like an envelope). Now roll the spring rolls all the way to the end and seal the edge.
  • Repeat the same with the rest of the filling and place it on a dish seam side down. At this stage you could refrigerate the rolls covered with plastic wrap until you are ready to fry. I made this in the afternoon and then fried them before dinner.
  • Heat enough oil in a frying pan and deep fry the rolls, few at a time (I fried about 4 at a time) until they are golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined dish.
  • Serve the Vegetable and Tofu Spring Rolls hot with dipping sauce. I served it with store bought plum sauce.
