Best Crispy Orange Chicken Spring Rolls Recipes

CRISP ORANGE-CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine chili pepper, garlic, ginger, wine, orange juice, and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
• In a small pan, heat canola oil and saute chicken until light brown outside and no longer pink inside, about 2 minutes. Combine apple, green onions, bell pepper, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat. Mix in cooked chicken.
• Fill a medium bowl with warm water. Dip one of the wrappers in the water for 15 seconds, or until softened. Carefully transfer it to a dry work surface. Arrange 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling in an even horizontal mound just below the center of the wrapper. Roll up the rice paper to form a tight cylinder, folding in the sides about halfway. Assemble the remaining spring rolls the same way.
• Coat the large baking sheet with cooking oil. Arrange spring rolls in a single layer, leaving a little space between them. Brush rolls with oil. Broil the rolls until lightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes; check frequently to avoid burning. Use a spatula to turn the rolls over and continue to broil another 8 to 10 minutes. Serve each roll wrapped in lettuce leaf, with Sweet and Sour Chili Sauce.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the peanut oil in a wok. When hot, stir fry the carrot for 1 minute. Add the cabbage, mushroom, and chicken and fry for another minute, stirring all of the time.
• Season with a little pepper; add the sugar, both soy sauces and the sesame oil.
• Combine 2 tsp of the cornflour with about 3 tbsp of water and stir into the filling while still on the heat. Any juices will soon thicken. Remove from heat and leave to cool.
• Combine remaining cornflour with enough water to make a thin paste. Lay out a spring roll wrapper and put 1 tbsp of filling across one end. brush the edges of the wrapper with cornflour liquid to help it stick.
• Fold the two opposite edges of the wrapper over part of the filling and roll into a tight cylinder. Pinch the edges together to form a good seal.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer, and cook rolls in batches until golden and crisp.
