Steps:
- Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add garlic, stir quickly, then add pork. Cook, breaking it up as you go, until it turns white.
- Add carrot, bean sprouts, cabbage and mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add cornflour, soy sauce and Oyster sauce, cook for 1 minute until the liquid is gone. The Filling should not be watery, it should be kind of sticky (watery filling = soggy spring rolls = ? ).
- Cool Filling (super speedy: spread on tray, refrigerate 5 minutes). (Hot filling = spring rolls burst open = ? )
- Mix cornflour and water in a small bowl (for sealing the rolls).
- Carefully peel off one spring roll wrapper, keep the others covered under a damp tea towel.
- Place the wrapper with the SMOOTH SIDE DOWN (Note 3) in a diamond position. Place a very heaped dessert spoon of filling on the bottom. Roll up halfway, fold sides in, then finish rolling. Use cornflour sludge to seal. (Watch VIDEO below). They should be about 12 cm / 5" long, 2.5cm / 1" wide once wrapped.
- Pour enough oil in a wok or large saucepan (Note 4) so it is double the height of the spring rolls. Heat on medium high until hot - stick a bamboo chopstick or wooden spoon handle in, if rapid bubbles appear, then it's hot enough.
- Carefully place spring rolls in the oil (about 4 - 5 at a time) and cook, turning occasionally, until deep golden - around 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Repeat with remaining spring rolls. Serve while hot with Sweet and Sour Sauce!
- Place spring rolls on a rack and place the rack on a tray. Spray very generously with oil all over (use canola or other natural oil). Bake at 200C/400F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan / convection) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crispy - no need to turn.
- Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring regularly, then simmer until it thickens to taste (about 3 - 5 minutes).

- Start by preparing the chicken and vegetables. You can use any type of chicken you like, but boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work well. Cut the chicken into thin strips and season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Cut the vegetables into thin slices or strips as well.
- To assemble the spring rolls, lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Place some chicken and vegetables in the center of the tortilla, and then fold the sides over the filling. Roll the tortilla up tightly, starting from one end and working your way to the other.
- Once all of the spring rolls are assembled, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little oil to the skillet, and then place the spring rolls in the skillet. Cook the spring rolls for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the spring rolls with a dipping sauce of your choice. Some popular dipping sauces include sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or Sriracha sauce.
