pork mince +chinese mushrooms which you can get (in dried form) from asian shops/local supermarkets - soaked till soft, sliced thinly +can of water chestnuts (for crunchiness) +prawns (optional) +corriander +pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce(optional) mix well. wrap in fresh wonton skins(from asian shops) / spring roll skins(thawed) fry in shallow oil. for the wonton, they are yummy when after shallow frying, to add a good splash of stock/water & cover , for the wontons to soak up the stock. Likewise , the wontons can be cooked by simply boiling in stock soup. enjoy!

Has anyone baked, or grilled in an electric grill, the spring rolls once they're wrapped, instead of deep frying? I think they'd be quite crunchy....

I have baked and they were nice. I think I may have brushed with a little olive or canola oil though.

Yes, you put into a pot and heat until thicken, the sauce is really nice, and a good red colour

Thanks Tim:)
Never made them but your recipe sounds so straight forward if I can find the wrappers here I'll give it a try.

This is a really nice and easy recipe. Make sure you only use 1/4 tsp of five spice, it is very strong

I use my snack toaster to cook mine, giving them a quarter turn while cooking, they are really crunchy and not greasy as with deep frying.
