Recipe:


Serves: 4 (about 16 spring rolls)


Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes

 

Ingredients:


- 1 cup shredded carrots

- 1 cup beansprouts

- 1/2 cup sweetcorn

- 1/2 cup crumbled tofu

- 16 vegan spring roll wrappers

- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying


For the sweet chilli sauce:

- 1/2 cup white sugar

- 1/4 cup water

- 1/4 cup rice vinegar

Method:


1. In a large pan over medium heat, stir-fry the carrots, beansprouts, sweetcorn, and crumbled tofu with the soy sauce until they're tender. Set aside to cool.


2. To assemble the spring rolls, place a spoonful of the cooled vegetable and tofu mixture onto each spring roll wrapper. Tightly roll up the wrapper, tucking in the sides as you go.


3. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the spring rolls until golden brown on all sides, then drain on paper towels.
