1. Spring Rolls, a short Definition
The spring roll comes from Asian cuisine, especially from Vietnamese and South Chinese cuisine.
It consists of wafer-thin dough with various fillings. In China, the spring rolls are fried in a wok, the unfried version (prepared with rice dough leaves) is called the lucky roll.
Various variations can be found in China, Thailand, Vietnam and Japan. In China, the spring roll belongs to the traditional New Year celebration (Qing Ming). The festival celebrates the beginning of spring and at the same time commemorates the ancestors and the dead.
The spring roll symbolizes the silkworm (new life) that hatches at that time. The ingredients of the spring rolls were originally vegetable offerings. The traditional Chinese spring roll filling consists of soy or mung bean sprouts, finely chopped vegetables such as white cabbage, carrots, onions, mushrooms, a little meat and glass noodles.
The filling is steamed with garlic and spices and seasoned with soy sauce. When cold, the filling is wrapped in the spring roll dough and fried or baked over high heat. The thinner spring rolls from Thailand are called poh pia tod.
Spring rolls prepared with strudel dough, the minced meat rolls are Asian tasted and simply succeed!
2. Spring Roller Dough Recipe Original
As already written in the first paragraph, I like to use strudel dough, please prepare the filling and process the strudel dough quickly so that the dough remains elastic during processing and does not break.
Take the strudel dough out of the packaging just before use, otherwise the strudel dough will dry out. Here is the promised traditional original recipe for spring roll dough:
3. Spring Roll Dough vegan, Recipe without Egg
For the traditional spring roll dough you need 250 g flour and 125 g water as well as a pinch of salt.
Stir the dough until it is quite liquid and let it rest for about an hour covered. Then bake out very thin pancakes and let them cool down.
It is best to use a coated pan or a crepe pan that is already running well. You can prepare the filling during the dough resting period.
Seal the spring rolls with a flour-water mixture. Mix one part flour (1 teaspoon) with 3 parts water (3 teaspoons), brush the corresponding areas, then roll up the spring rolls.
4. Spring Roll Dough Recipe with Egg
Mix 200 grams flour, 150 millilitres water, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon salt and let rest for 15 minutes. Fry thin, colourless pancakes and allow to cool to fill.
I like to serve spring rolls as finger food or as main course with steamed beans and vegetables!
5. Filling for Spring Rolls
Here I show a short and concise traditional recipe for spring roll filling. This is already connected with some effort and buying ingredients.
Below you’ll find my simple recipe with only six ingredients, all of which you can buy at the supermarket.
6. Ingredients for the traditional Spring Roll Filling
150 g chicken or pork meat cut into fine strips (or minced meat), one tablespoon of corn starch for binding, 20-30 g mushrooms (shiitake also called Tung Ku mushrooms or Mu-Err mushrooms), 100 g white cabbage strips or soy sprouts, 50 g bamboo sprouts cut into strips, a small leek stick. For frying 1-2 tablespoons peanut oil. Season with a little garlic, 1 tablespoon sugar, a pinch of salt, 1-2 teaspoons dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons chicken stock, 1-2 tablespoons sake and traditionally with glutamate.

7. Preparation of the traditional Spring Roll Filling
Mix the meat with the corn starch and marinate for 5 minutes. Then fry all the ingredients in a pan or in a wok at high heat.
Due to the amount of ingredients, the frying quickly turns into steaming, the spices and aromatics are added and there should be little or no liquid left.
Let the filling cool on a sheet and later wrap in the spring roll dough. Mix the meat with the corn starch and marinate for 5 minutes.
Then fry all the ingredients in a pan or in a wok at high heat. Due to the amount of ingredients, the frying quickly turns into steaming, the spices and aromatics are added and there should be little or no liquid left.
Let the filling cool on a tray and wrap in the spring roll dough later.
