What is the difference of Spring roll and Egg roll?
Spring roll wrappers are thin pastry paper like sheets, made from wheat or rice flour with water. While egg rolls are thicker pastry sheets made from egg and flour dough.

What Goes in The Chicken Spring Rolls ?

• Protein : I usually use boneless chicken breast cut in small dices. You can use chicken thigh, prawns, lamb, beef or any tender meat cut in small pieces or minced.
  For vegetarian options, you can use frim tofu cut in small cubes and add mushroom or vegetarian oyster sauce instead of oyster sauce.
• Vegetables : Shredded cabbage, carrot, sweet corn, spring onions and bean sprouts are ideal for fillings. You can add extra vegetables like mushrooms, green beans, bamboo shoots, etc.
• Spring roll wrapper : I use TJY spring roll pastry (250mm square sheet) which is a very famous pastry brand and can easily buy at local supermarket or online.
• Seasonings : I usually add a bit of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and salt to taste. Sweetness from the chicken and vegetables are tasty without adding much seasonings.
