Baked Crab Spring Rolls Recipes

SPICY CRAB SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Shred crabmeat using 2 forks or in a food processor.
• Mix crabmeat, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce together in a small bowl.
• Fill a shallow bowl with hot water to a depth of 2 inches. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in the water for a few seconds to soften; set on a wooden cutting board or a clean, moist dish towel. Layer 1/4 of the cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion in the bottom third of the rice paper.
• Pull bottom of the rice paper over the filling, using your fingers to prevent it from spilling out the sides. Fold opposing edges of the rice paper to overlap the filling; roll up tightly towards the top. Place roll seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining rice papers and cucumber, carrot, avocado, crabmeat mixture, and green onion.

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place pork in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove from heat and drain.
• In a medium bowl, mix together pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, cilantro, sesame oil, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic and chile sauce.
• Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
• Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of spring roll wrappers. Roll wrappers around the mixture, folding edges inward to close. Moisten fingers in the cornstarch and water mixture, and brush wrapper seams to seal.
• Arrange spring rolls in a single layer on a medium baking sheet. Brush with vegetable oil. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, until hot and lightly browned. For crispier spring rolls, turn after 10 minutes,

BAKED SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Make the spring rolls: Cook the ham in 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions; cook until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
• Toss the cabbage and carrot with the hot ham mixture in a large bowl. Add the crab, cilantro, chili-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, the soy sauce and vinegar; toss.
• Wrap the spring rolls (see right). Pierce each roll with a skewer in a few places to prevent bursting.
• Place a rack in a baking dish and brush with vegetable oil. Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil; lightly brush on rolls. Place the rolls on the rack; bake until golden on top, about 15 minutes. Turn the rolls; bake until golden and crisp, 8 to 10 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve with the warm spring rolls.

AIR FRYER SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Take the spring roll wrappers out of the freezer and allow to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Another option is to place frozen spring roll wrappers in the refrigerator to unthaw for about 2 hours. Keep sealed and do not open package or otherwise they will dry out. (If your spring rolls wrappers have been refrigerated and not frozen, you can skip this step)
• Combine the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir well to make your cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl add your ground pork, chopped shrimp, white pepper and salt, cornstarch, sesame oil and Shaoxing wine. Stir well and set aside to marinate.
• Slice and chop napa cabbage. Finely slice green onions. Grate carrot or finely julienne cut. Cut bean sprouts into thirds. Set aside
• In your wok/frying pan add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat to a medium high heat. Add ginger and garlic until fry until aromatic. Add the shrimp and pork mixture, more Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper and soy sauce to taste. Stir fry until pork is no longer pink and the shrimp are no longer translucent, about 2 minutes. Add prepared cabbage, carrot, bean sprouts and green onions to cooked shrimp and pork mixture in the wok and cook just until the vegetables start to give out the juice or about 1 to 2 minutes.
• Strain cooked filling mixture in colander/strainer to remove the moisture and press down to remove the excess juice from the mixture. Set aside strained filling mixture to cool. (Save the strained juice for a soup or pitch)
• Remove the spring roll wrappers from the package. Carefully remove slowly and carefully peel away one spring roll wrapper and lie on your clean working surface. Place the rest of the unused spring roll wrappers under a damp clean cloth or tea towel so they do not dry out (very important step). Stir your cornstarch slurry mixture again and have it near you.
• Place the spring roll wrapper with one of the pointed edges towards you, like a diamond. With a brush or your finger paint the outsides with the cornstarch slurry to help the spring roll stick.Place one to two tablespoon of delicious pork, shrimp and veggie filling mixture on to the pointed edge. Then, holding the spring roll firmly but gently, roll the edge over the filling mixture once. With your fingers, dab a little of the cornstarch slurry on each of the edges to help seal the spring roll. (Remember to stir the cornstarch slurry first as the cornstarch has a tendency to fall to the bottom of the bowl.)Fold in the sides and keep the spring roll tight as you gently squeeze and roll away from you.Brush another thin layer of cornstarch slurry on the back half and continue to roll tightly until sealed. Continue the same process with the remaining spring rolls wrappers and filling. (Don't worry if the first few spring rolls you try to roll look like a disaster. Practice makes perfect and you have about another 15 or so spring roll attempts to get it right)
• Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C)
• Spray air fryer basket with a little oil spray. Spray or brush oil on all sides of the prepared spring rolls.
• Place the spring rolls in the air fryer basket making sure they are not touching. Depending on the size and model of your air fryer, you may have to cook your spring rolls in batches.
• Air fry spring rolls between 15 to 17 minutes or until golden brown on all side. Turn spring rolls midway in the cooking process. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before eating. Enjoy!
• Preheat your oven to 190 degrees C (or 375 degrees F)
• Place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and a little spray oil.
• Spray or brush the spring rolls gently on both sides with a little oil. Bake seam side down for about 10 minutes. After the first 10 minutes turn the spring rolls over and brush on a little more oil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before eating. Enjoy!
• In a small bowl add soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, green onion, Chinese black vinegar (optional) and if you like it hot a little chopped bird chili. Mix well and serve as a dipping sauce for spring rolls. Also delicious with a little homemade Garlic Chili Oil, Sriracha sauce or plain.

VEGAN BAKED SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• OVEN: Preheat your oven to 400F (200C). Line a large baking sheet with a wire rack.AIR FRYER: Preheat your air fryer to 370F (190C).

Cook for about 5 minutes stirring frequently until the vegetables and mushrooms are cooked, about 5 minutes. Stir in the hoisin and soy sauce and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat and let cool before assembling the spring rolls. You can pop it in the fridge to cool faster if you like.
• Set up a workstation with your spring roll wrappers, spring roll filling, a small bowl of water, and a baking tray fitted with a wire rack.
• To assemble the spring rolls, take a spring roll wrapper and place it on your work surface with a corner pointing up (diamond shape). Put about 2 tablespoons of the spring roll filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold up the bottom corner around the filling, then fold in both sides. Wet your finger or use a brush to wet the top edges with water to seal the spring roll. Finish rolling up the spring roll, then place on the wire rack with point side down. Repeat with remaining wrappers until all of the filling is used up.
• OVEN: Bake about 25 minutes until golden around the edges.AIR FRYER: Place the spring rolls in the air fryer, with the wrapper point side down. Place them in a single layer with room around each roll so they get air around all sides. You may need to work in batches. Fry about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.Serve hot with sweet & sour sauce.

BAKED VEGETARIAN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Remove the frozen spring roll wrappers from the freezer and allow to come to room temperature.
• Soak the glass noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, until soft. In a large skillet over medium heat combine the 2 tsp. vegetable oil, soy sauce, softened noodles, carrots, green beans, and mushrooms over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the ingredients are evenly combined and fragrant, about 5 minutes. (The carrots and green beans should be tender, but still slightly crisp.)
• Working with one wrapper at a time, place a heaping tablespoon of the glass noodle and vegetable filling in the lower half of the wrapper. Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up to the center of the wrapper to enclose the filling. Turn the right and left hand sides of the wrappers into the middle and roll the wrapper up towards the top. (See the pictures above.)
• Place the filled spring rolls seam-side down on parchment paper. At this point the rolls can be refrigerated for up to a day. Cover them with a slightly dampened paper towel to keep them from drying out.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a small bowl. Brush a large baking sheet with vegetable oil. Place the spring rolls on the baking sheet, seam-side down. Lightly brush the tops of the spring rolls with the remaining vegetable oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, gently turning the spring rolls halfway through, until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
• Serve immediately, with Sweet and Spicy Thai Dipping Sauce (recipe below).
