Here is the Procedure:

  • Put 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Stir-fry shallot, ginger and garlic for 2 to 4 minutes until golden. Add chicken and sweet soy sauce then stir-fry for 3 minutes until chicken is cooked. Season to taste, then transfer to the bowl.
  • Stir-fry cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots and spring onions in 1 to 2 tablespoon of oil in the same pan. Season to taste, and add chili then stir-fry vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to wane. Add 1 tablespoon of water to prevent them from burning. Add prawns or shrimps and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until they turn pink. Put the chicken mixture to pan and heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste, and transfer mixture to a strainer to drain and cool.
  • Put a spring roll wrapper on the surface. Place 2 teaspoons of chicken mixture on the corner and roll completely to enclose, then fold in the sides. Wipe the edge of wrapper with egg white then seal. Repeat the procedure with the remaining mixtures and wrappers.
  • Heat oil to 170 degrees in a deep pan. Deep-fry the spring rolls in batches, turning on sides for 2 to 4 minutes, until golden and crisp. Drain on a paper napkin or absorbent paper and let them cool down.
  • Once they’re cooled or warm to touch, place them in containers or zip locks. Put some chili sauce and sweet soy sauce for dipping on a small container. Put them all in your picnic basket and you’re good to go. Have a fun picnic and serve them.
