Steps

  • Heat groundnut oil in a wok until smoking and stir-fry ginger briefly.
  • Add mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts, then stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  • Season with soy sauce and five-spice powder, adding a splash of water for steam.
  • Remove mixture from heat and allow to cool completely for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Mix beansprouts, cavolo nero, spring onions, and carrot with soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and seasoning.
  • Combine the raw vegetable mixture with the cooled mushroom mixture.
  • Place two teaspoons of filling on a diagonally oriented wrapper 2cm from the bottom corner.
  • Roll the wrapper tightly away from you, fold in the side corners, and seal the top edge with beaten egg.
  • Heat peanut oil in a large pan or fryer to 180°C.
  • Deep-fry the rolls for 6 minutes until golden-brown and drain on kitchen paper.
