Spring rolls are a popular starter from Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines featuring all your favourite fillings wrapped in a (usually) fried or baked pastry-like wrapper. There’s really no rules about what you put in your spring rolls. But typically, you’ll find a mix of some kind of mince or tofu with finely chopped or shredded vegetables, plus seasoning. Some will include vermicelli style noodles and you must include a sweet, tangy and spicy sauce for dipping.

Make these deliciously crunchy vegetable spring rolls from scratch and cook them in your air fryer for the ultimate crunch with less oil involved.

Ingredients

Method

1.

Place vermicelli in a medium bowl of boiling water for 2 minutes or until soft; drain well. Using scissors, snip noodles into 2cm lengths.

2.

Line the basket of a 5.3-litre air fryer with baking paper. Place garlic, ginger, shallot, carrot, wombok, five-spice and oils in lined basket; toss to combine. Slide pan and basket back into appliance. Set temperature to 180ËšC; set timer for 5 minutes. Cook until vegetables are soft.

3.

Taking care, pull out the pan and basket; transfer vegetable mixture to a bowl. Combine tamari and cornflour in a small bowl; add to vegetable mixture with vermicelli and toss until combined. Cool to room temperature.

4.

Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Place ¼ cup of the filling one-third up from the bottom edge in a line, leaving a 1.5cm border on each side. Fold over once, then fold in the sides and roll up to enclose filling; brush the join with a little water to seal. Repeat with remaining spring roll wrappers and filling.

5.

Preheat the air fryer to 180°C for 3 minutes.

6.

Spray spring rolls generously with oil. Place half the rolls in basket. Keep temperature set at 180°C; set timer for 12 minutes. Cook until spring rolls are golden brown. Transfer cooked spring rolls to a wire rack. Repeat cooking with remaining spring rolls.
