Best 7 Easy Chicken Stir Fry And Baked Spring Rolls Recipes

CRISPY BAKED SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F / 204°C. Spray a large rimmed sheet pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Prepare noodles according to package directions, being careful not to overcook. Drain and then spread out on a cutting board and chop into 3 inch sections (or use kitchen shears to chop).
• Line a sheet pan (separate from the one you prepared for baking) or large platter with paper towels (this is where you'll transfer the filling to cool and drain).
• In a wok or skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil until shimmering. Add pork and sauté, breaking it apart, until nearly cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add oyster sauce, garlic, ground coriander, and coleslaw mix. Cook everything together until cabbage is very tender, 6 to 8 minutes more. (If the pan looks dry at any point, add a splash of water and continue cooking.)
• Add noodles to pork / cabbage mixture and continue cooking everything together until the pan is mostly dry and everything is evenly combined, ~2 minutes more.
• While the filling cools, peel the wrappers apart and line them up so they are slightly overlapping. (They can be slightly sticky, so it's easiest to do this with clean hands before filling.) Cover with a slightly damp paper towel to prevent drying out.
• Working with one spring roll wrapper at a time, place it on a flat surface with one corner facing you. Use a brush or your index finger to dab beaten egg around the edges. Fill the bottom half of the wrapper about 3 Tbsp of filling (do not overfill or they will split when baking). Fold the bottom part of the wrapper over the filling. Fold the left and right corners over the filling. Roll the spring roll securely up from the bottom to the top, making sure the filling is completely enclosed.
• Place spring rolls on prepared pan, leaving some space between them.
• When all of the spring rolls are on the pan, brush the tops and sides with oil.
• Bake spring rolls until golden brown and crisp, ~25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through cooking.
• Serve immediately with Sweet Thai Chili Sauce.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
• Sauté the garlic and ginger in the sesame and olive oils in large sauté pan set over medium-low heat.
• Add the ground chicken to the pan, breaking it apart into small pieces, and sauté until fully cooked.
• Add the mushrooms to the pan and sauté just until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat and drain out any liquid. Stir in the green cabbage, scallions and hoisin sauce until thoroughly combined. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.
• Arrange the spring roll wrappers on a dry work surface then place 3 to 4 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each of the spring roll wrappers. Roll the wrappers around the mixture, folding the edges inward. Before your final fold, dip your fingers in water and then moisten the outer edge of the wrapper to seal the spring roll shut. (See Kelly's Notes.)
• Arrange the spring rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat nonstick baking mat. Brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil then bake them for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating after 6 minutes, until they're golden brown and crispy. Remove the spring rolls from the oven and serve them immediately with the sweet chili sauce.

CHINESE SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix the pork with the marinade ingredients and set aside for about 30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Cut all of the vegetables to approximately the same size. You want everything the same size so each ingredient blends together.
• Brown the pork over high heat in 2 tablespoons of oil, and add the garlic, mushrooms and carrots. Stir fry for 30 seconds, and add the bamboo shoots, napa cabbage, and Shaoxing wine. Continue stir-frying for a minute. Adjust the heat to simmer the mixture, as the napa cabbage will release a lot of moisture.
• Stir in the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, and sugar. At this time, you have the option of adding 1/4 cup of the decanted water from soaking the dried mushrooms. It strengthens the mushroom flavor, so this is purely according to your personal preference. You may also have to simmer the filling longer to reduce the additional liquid.
• Continue simmering the filling for another 3 minutes--until the napa cabbage is completely wilted--and stir in the corn starch slurry to thicken. How much slurry you add depends upon the wetness of the filling (this varies if your cabbage had more moisture or if you did add the optional mushroom water), but there should be no standing liquid at all.
• Transfer the filling to a large shallow bowl, and let cool. Place into the refrigerator to cool further-at least one hour. It's best to start with a cold filling for easier wrapping. The key to wrapping spring rolls is making sure that they're tight, yet not overstuffed. It's best to use fresh spring roll wrappers if you can, as freezing the wrappers can result in the spring roll skin being a bit too damp.
• Place the wrapper on a flat surface so that a corner is facing toward you. Use about two spoonfuls of the mixture per spring roll, and spoon it about 2 inches from the corner that is closest to you. Roll it over once, and, like you're making a burrito, fold over both sides. Continue rolling it into a cigar shape. With your fingers, brush a bit of the cornstarch water onto the corner of the wrapper that is farthest from you to seal it.
• In case you're wondering, we did try egg wash instead of the cornstarch mixture to seal the spring roll but the egg wash "stains" the spring roll, so it's best to use the cornstarch mixture.
• Place each roll on a tray. This recipe makes about 18-20 spring rolls. You can also freeze these spring rolls on the tray overnight, and transfer them to a zip-lock bag when they are completely frozen for future use. We usually fry some fresh and freeze the rest, unless we are hosting a party, in which case, these go like hot cakes!
• To fry the spring rolls, fill a small pot (which requires less oil) with oil until it's 2 to 3 inches deep. Heat the oil slowly over medium heat until it reaches 325 degrees. Gently add the spring rolls one at a time, frying in small batches. Carefully roll them in the oil so they cook evenly until golden brown and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Prepare the dipping sauce by adding all ingredients to a small sauce pan. Mix and heat until just simmering and pour into a small bowl. Serve the spring rolls hot with the dipping sauce!

CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and corn starch in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Mix ginger, garlic, and red pepper into sauce; coat chicken with marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, and onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.
• Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side; return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve over rice.

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.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY BAKE

Steps:

• Place rice in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Layer with the water chestnuts, chicken and vegetables. Combine remaining ingredients; pour over top. Cover and bake at 375° for 25 minutes or until rice is tender.

ZINGY CHICKEN STIR-FRY
