Veggie Thai Spring Rolls
Description
This recipe uses phyllo pastry sheets filled with a stir-fried mixture of tofu browned in oil with garlic, seasoned with fish sauce and sugar for savory and sweet notes. Adding soaked rice noodles, chopped spring onion, julienned carrot, and soybean sprouts provides texture and freshness inside the filling. Sealing the rolls with beaten egg helps achieve a tight wrap.
The spring rolls are fried in hot oil until golden and crisp on the outside, producing a contrast between the flaky pastry and the tender vegetable-tofu filling. The method requires careful rolling and sealing to prevent opening during frying.
These rolls can be served as appetizers, snacks, or part of a meal, offering a vegetarian option with the umami depth of fish sauce enhancing the flavor balance.
