Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pack spring roll wrapper
  • 3 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped finely
  • 150 g (5 oz) chicken meat chopped finely
  • 150 g (5 oz) Shrimp chopped finely, baby
  • 5-6 shiitake mushroom soaked and chopped finely, dried
  • 200 g (7 oz) yam bean sliced
  • 100 g (3½ oz) carrot sliced

Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon chicken stock granules
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 black pepper dash
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mix with water

Flour Mixture:

  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 4 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a wok, heat the cooking oil. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic. Then, add the chicken, shrimp, and mushrooms, and continue to stir-fry until cooked.
  2. Add the yam bean and carrot, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Then, add 1 cup of water, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the seasoning ingredients and mix well. Dish out and set aside.
  3. Place a piece of spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Add 2 spoonfuls of filling to the center of the wrapper, then fold in the two sides and roll it up. Use the flour mixture to seal the edges.
  4. Heat a wok and pour in 2 cups of cooking oil. Deep fry the spring rolls over medium heat until golden brown and crispy. Remove them and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with chili sauce.

Notes

  • When you’re adding the filling to the wrappers, keep it simple—don’t overstuff! When you’re adding the filling to the wrappers, keep it simple—don’t overstuff! Two spoonfuls is just right; otherwise, it gets messy.
  • Keep an eye on your oil temperature at around 350°F (175°C) while frying. If it’s too hot, the outside will burn before the inside cooks, and if it’s too cool, your popiah will soak up too much oil and get greasy.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan! Frying in small batches helps everything cook evenly and stay nice and crispy.
