Chive Spring Rolls 韭菜春卷
These chive spring rolls are crackling crispy and the chive filling is light and flavourful. In fact I regretted for not making more of this delicious dim sum for our afternoon tea break. These crispy fried rolls can be easily made at home and it’s definitely a hit with anyone to enjoy them with chilli dipping sauce or just a pot of Chinese tea.
Spring roll is a deep fried pastry, usually available and popular in the Chinese dim sum restaurant. There are also many different versions of this pastry in the Asian countries. Spring roll filling is very versatile, you can use ground pork, chicken or prawns or only vegetables.
These chive spring rolls can be prepared a few days ahead and kept in the freezer. Just deep fry them straight from the freezer (do not defrost) 这款点心可以预先准备好（不用炸），收入冰格室。想吃的时候，无需解冻，直接下锅油炸即可
