fat
2 tbsp Soy Sauce (light soy sauce)
1 tbsp White Vinegar
0.5 tsp Black Pepper Powder
0.75 tsp Salt (or to taste)
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil (for stir-frying)
2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (for sealing paste)
3 tbsp Water (for sealing paste)
2 cup Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
1
Prepare Noodles and Sealing Paste
Cook the Hakka noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Immediately drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons of water to create a smooth, thick paste. This will act as a glue to seal the rolls.
2
Stir-Fry the Filling
Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large wok or pan over high heat.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilli. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced onions and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they become translucent.
Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and bell pepper. Continue to stir-fry on high heat for 3-4 minutes. The vegetables should be tender but still have a noticeable crunch.
Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, and black pepper powder. Toss everything together vigorously to combine well. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped spring onion greens. Transfer the entire filling to a large plate or tray and spread it out to cool down completely. A cool, dry filling is essential for crispy rolls.
3
Assemble the Spring Rolls
Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you, like a diamond.
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper.
Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling, tucking it in snugly to create a tight cylinder.
Fold in the left and right corners towards the center, like an envelope.
Roll it up tightly towards the top corner. Dab the flour paste on the inside of the top corner and press to seal the roll securely.
4
Fry the Spring Rolls
Heat the oil for deep frying in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don't have a thermometer, drop a small piece of wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top without browning too quickly.
Carefully slide 2-3 rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry for 4-5 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are an even golden brown and perfectly crisp on all sides.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried rolls and place them on a wire rack to drain any excess oil. This helps them stay crispy.

Serve
Serve the hot and crispy spring rolls immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce or Schezwan sauce.

1 tbsp Ginger (finely chopped)
4 cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
2 pcs Green Chili (slit lengthwise)
0.5 cup Carrot (julienned)
1 cup Cabbage (finely shredded)
0.5 cup Button Mushrooms (thinly sliced)
0.5 cup Green Bell Pepper (julienned)
5 cups Vegetable Broth (low sodium)
2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce (for color)
3 tbsp Rice Vinegar
1 tbsp Red Chili Sauce (e.g., Sriracha)
100 g Firm Tofu (cut into small cubes)
0.75 tsp White Pepper Powder
0.5 tsp Sugar
0.5 tsp Salt (or to taste)
3 tbsp Cornstarch
0.25 cup Water (for cornstarch slurry)
3 tbsp Spring Onion Greens (finely chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
1
Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables
Heat sesame oil in a large pot or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the finely chopped ginger, garlic, and slit green chilies. Sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, shredded cabbage, sliced mushrooms, and green bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still have a crunch.
2
Build the Soup Base
Pour in the vegetable broth. Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red chili sauce.
Stir in the white pepper powder, sugar, and salt.
Bring the soup to a rolling boil, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
3
Thicken the Soup
While the soup is coming to a boil, prepare the cornstarch slurry. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water until completely smooth with no lumps.
Once the soup is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the tofu cubes.
Give the cornstarch slurry a final stir, then slowly pour it into the soup in a thin stream while stirring the soup continuously to prevent lumps.
Continue to simmer and stir for 1-2 minutes until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.
4
Garnish and Serve
Turn off the heat. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings. Add more vinegar for sourness, chili sauce for heat, or soy sauce for saltiness if needed.
Stir in the chopped spring onion greens.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately, garnished with extra spring onions if desired.
