Chicken Spring Rolls

"When your fingers first pinch the outside wrapper of a spring roll, the texture is the tell. Soggy sides foreshadow watered-down filling. Crisp sides—that crackle with your touch—hold the promise of a big, balanced, boastful bite. Based on the popular Taiwanese “3 Cup Chicken” dish, our Chicken Spring Rolls feature chunks of white meat chicken, cabbage, carrots, and green onion that are cooked in hot woks with plentiful basil, garlic, and ginger. Simmered with soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine, and chili paste, the flavor only intensifies. The finished filling is carefully tucked into a wheat flour wrapper and deep-fried to make a thin, light, crisp shell. Bake in the oven, or fry on the stove top until the outside wrapper is golden and tellingly crispy. Serve with our Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping."
