Spring Rolls happen to be my favourite starters when ordering Chinese! But off late I’ve been steering clear of anything either fried or too oily in any way! The fried rolls have a way of making you feel so bloated in just a couple of bites….you can’t even have an entire roll. 

Hence, we bake! Takes barely 2 tablespoons of oil and we are sorted 😊

Infact, the baked ones are far more crispier than the fried ones and there is no compromising on the taste too. A healthy option if you’re looking for snacking ideas with less calories😁 You can serve these with my homemade Schezwan Sauce. 

You can always prep the rolls and keep them frozen and then bake them as and when required (frozen rolls can be stored for a week approximately and need to be thawed for 45 mins before baking or frying). Coming to the fillings, you can go for any option…vegetarian or non-vegetarian…even just some greens like spinach or some bokchoy. The options are endless. What I am sharing here is a technique for eating healthier without much efforts 😊 The recipe for this filling is what I have learnt from my Mom.
