Ingredients

• 250 g Ground chicken
• 200 g Extra-firm tofu
• 100 g Shredded carrot
• 100 g Shredded cabbage
• 50 g Chopped scallions
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 0.5 tsp Ground white pepper
• 20 pieces Spring roll wrappers
• 1 Egg, beaten (for sealing wrappers)
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Press the tofu to remove excess water by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for 15 minutes. Crumble the tofu into small pieces by hand or using a fork.

Step 2

Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and no longer pink.

Step 4

Add the crumbled tofu and cook for another 3 minutes to combine with the chicken.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, chopped scallions, soy sauce, and ground white pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but still retain some crunch. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Prepare the spring roll wrappers on a clean, flat work surface. Place one wrapper in a diamond shape with one corner facing you.

Step 7

Add about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a horizontal line near the corner closest to you, leaving about 2 cm of space from the edge.

Step 8

Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper tightly over the filling, then fold in the side corners to form an envelope shape. Roll the wrapper away from you into a cylinder. Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal the roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 9

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok to 180°C (350°F). Fry the loempia in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the fried loempia from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or peanut sauce.
