Filling dry
Moist filling makes the shell soft and can squirt when deep-frying.
For crispy spring rolls, the vegetable filling is pre-cooked and cooled, then rolled into dough sheets and fried or baked in the oven. Too moist filling makes the rolls soft.
Why this recipe works
The most important point is moisture. Vegetables are briefly fried, seasoned and cooled before being put into the dough sheets. Rolls are tightly wrapped but not too tightly and then baked hot.
Recipe
Spring rolls with vegetables need a dry, briefly fried filling of cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and glass noodles. This is the only way to make the shell crisp.
Fry garlic, cabbage, carrots and mushrooms briefly. Add glass noodles, soy sauce and sesame oil.
Allow the filling to cool completely and drain any excess liquid.
Place the filling on the dough sheets, fold the sides and roll them up tightly.
Fry spring rolls over medium heat until golden brown or bake in the oven with oil.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve with dip.
Kitchen know-how

Open edges allow filling to leak out. Close with water or flour glue.
Too hot oil browns outside before the rollers are hot inside.
