I have used store bought spring roll sheets so making these was a breeze. This recipe is roughly adapted from my vegetable spring rolls. This is just with an addition of chicken and Chinese five spice powder. You can also skip the spice powder or replace with any of your favorite spice mix. Soya sauce lends a delicate flavor to the chicken. While pepper adds mild heat to the stuffing. So skipping the spice powders is just fine. I have used a chopped chicken fillet here, you can use any including the mince. The recipe can be double or tripled easily but use a large wider pan to prevent the filling from turning mushy. For best results fry these chicken spring rolls immediately after rolling. You can serve them with a sauce of your choice. We enjoyed them with this Schezwan sauce.
