Best Spicy Spring Rolls Recipes

SPICY CRAB SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or in a food processor.
• Mix crabmeat, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl.
• Fill a shallow bowl with hot water to a depth of 2 inches. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in the water for a few seconds to soften; set on a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 of the cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion in the bottom third of the rice paper.
• Pull bottom of the rice paper over the filling, using your fingers to prevent it from spilling out the sides. Fold opposing edges of the rice paper to overlap the filling; roll up tightly towards the top. Place roll seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining rice papers and cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion.

HERB SALAD SPRING ROLLS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl soak noodles in very hot water to cover 15 minutes and drain well in a colander. Reserve half of noodles for another use. With scissors cut remaining noodles into 3- to 4-inch lengths and in a small bowl toss with vinegar and salt to taste.
• Cut out and discard ribs from lettuce leaves, halving each leaf.
• In a shallow baking pan or cake pan soak 2 rounds rice paper in hot water to cover until very pliable, 45 seconds to 1 minute.
• Carefully spread 1 soaked round on a paper towel, leaving remaining round in water, and blot with paper towels. Arrange 1 piece of lettuce leaf on bottom half of sheet, leaving a 1-inch border along edge. Top lettuce with about one fourth of peanuts and about one fourth of noodles, arranging them in a line across lettuce. Top noodles with one fourth each of scallion, carrot, cabbage, and herbs. Roll up filling tightly in rice paper, folding insides after first roll to completely enclose filling, and continue rolling.
• Spread remaining soaked rice paper round on paper towel and blot with another paper towel. Wrap rice paper around spring roll in same manner. (Double wrapping covers any tears and makes roll more stable and easier to eat.) Wrap spring roll in rinsed and squeezed paper towel and put in a resealable plastic bag. Make 3 more rolls with remaining ingredients in same manner. Rolls may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, wrapped in wet paper towels in sealed plastic bag. Before serving, bring rolls to room temperature.
• Discard paper towels. Halve rolls diagonally and serve with peanut sauce.

SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS WITH SPICY APRICOT MUSTARD DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: In a small bowl, stir together the marinade, preserves, mustard and hot sauce.
• For the spring rolls: In a bowl, mix together the shrimp, slaw and marinade. Place a spring roll wrapper on your work surface with 1 of the corners facing you so it looks like a diamond. (Keep the spring roll wrappers covered with a damp towel so they don't dry out). Place 2 tablespoons filling on the lower third of the wrapper. Spread the filling out in a line from side to side. Roll the bottom corner up over the filling, and then fold in the sides. Moisten the top corner with some water, using your finger or a brush, and roll the filling over it so it sticks to itself and forms a seal. Place seam-side down on a plate and keep covered with a damp towel while you make the remaining rolls.
• When you are ready to cook, fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with enough oil to come up about 3 inches from the bottom. Place over medium-high heat and bring to 360 degrees F. Add the spring rolls, a few at a time, and cook until they are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm while you fry the rest. Serve with the spicy apricot mustard dip.

SPICY SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• In a very hot wok, briefly saute the ginger, garlic, green onion and chili paste in the oil.

Remove from heat and let cool in a bowl at room temperature. Place the spring roll wrappers under a damp cloth to keep them moist. Place wrappers one at a time on a hard surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon cooled ingredients into the center. Add a tablespoon of grated cucumber and a sprinkle of cilantro.
• Fold the side corners into the center. Fold the bottom into the center, making sure the three corners are touching each other. To finish, roll the wrapper away from you and up over the final corner. Store rolls under a damp cloth until ready to fry. Heat enough oil to cover the rolls, and fry seam side down until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

• Coat a large baking sheet with a cooking oil such as canola. Use just enough to keep the rolls from sticking. Arrange spring rolls in a single layer, leaving a little space between them. Brush rolls with cooking oil. Broil the rolls until lightly browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes, checking 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 a lettuce leaf, with Lime and Soy Dipping Sauce.
