Mix the pastry up and leave to stand while you start assembling your filling.
Make sure your bean sprouts, chicken, garlix, spring onion, and carrots are all finely sliced and diced. In a pan over a medium heat, stir fry your chicken until it is cooked.
Drain off any excess oil before adding the rest of your filling ingredients. Mix and put aside while you make your spring roll pastry.
In another pan over a low medium heat, spread a little bit of vegetable oil and pour a thin layer of your spring roll batter and fry. Do not turn the roll over – once it’s cooked, transfer to another plate.
Once all of your spring roll wrappers have been made, take your filling mixture and divide it between your spring roll wrappers. Fill the middle of each wrapper with some filling mixture
Then, it’s time to get rolling. Fold the bottom of the wrapper up and the sides over the filling. Use a paste of flour and water from a small bowl to help seal the spring roll shut.
