SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS
These crunchy, delicate spring rolls can be fried and frozen for up to 2 weeks. Just let them come to room temperature, then reheat in a 400 degree F oven. The sweet-and-spicy sauce can be used for other fried goodies, like shrimp or chicken tenders. Look for spring roll pastry wrappers, which are slightly different from eggroll and wonton wrappers, in the freezer section of Asian specialty markets.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Whisk together 1/3 cup water, the sugar, ketchup, vinegar, Sriracha and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat when the sauce begins to thicken, 30 to 45 seconds. Let cool.
- For the spring rolls: Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil, ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the cabbage and carrots, and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp, scallions, mirin, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of black pepper, and cook, stirring, until the shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the sesame oil. Let the mixture cool for 15 minutes. Fold in the bean sprouts. When completely cool, roughly chop the mixture and set aside.
- Put 1 spring roll wrapper on a work surface with a point facing you (it should be a diamond shape). Put about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of the wrapper, and spread to make a 1-inch log. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, rolling tightly to keep the spring rolls firm. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling. Brush the top edge of the wrapper with egg. Roll up tightly, pressing to seal the edge. Put finished rolls, seam-side down, on a plate or baking sheet until ready to fry. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven with 3 inches of oil, and attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side. Heat the pot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Fry the spring rolls in batches, 4 or 5 at a time, until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the chicken mince and stir fry until cooked through (around 2-3 minutes).
- Add the bean sprouts, carrot, baby corn and spring onion and mix thoroughly.
- Add the fish sauce, oyster sauce and sugar and stir.
- Finally add the glass noodles and stir through until ingredients are evenly mixed and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
- Lay out one spring roll pastry or wrapper on a clean surface (smooth side down). If using a square wrapper, have one of the corners facing towards you.
- Place a scoop of filling in one corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper up and over the filling, pressing in firmly to remove any air pockets. Keep rolling up to the centre of the wrapper.
- Rub water over the top edges of the wrapper, then fold in the left and right sides and keep rolling up tightly.
- Heat the canola oil in the wok over a medium heat, ready to deep fry. Slide each spring roll into the wok slowly to avoid splashing. Deep fry until golden brown, around 4-6 minutes.
- Transfer to a strainer or place on kitchen paper towel to drain the oil.
- Serve with your chosen dipping sauce such as nuoc mam cham.

THAI SHRIMP ROLLS
These are easier to roll if you put the lettuce down first, but when you get the knack of rolling them, try putting 2 shrimp against where they will show when rolled up--most attractive for serving to guests!

Steps:
- To prepare sauce, combine vinegar, honey, fish sauce, and curry paste, stir well and set aside.

- Top lettuce with 2 basil leaves, 4 shrimp halves, 2 tablespoons noodles, 5 cucumber strips, 5 carrot strips, 5 green onion strips, and 3 mint leaves.
- Fold sides of sheet over filling, and roll up jelly-roll fashion.
- Gently press seam to seal.
- Place roll seam side down on a serving platter (cover to prevent dryin).

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. Use large, fresh shrimp for the best results. Avoid using frozen shrimp, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
- Make sure the shrimp is properly cooked. Shrimp should be cooked until it is opaque and pink. Do not overcook the shrimp, as this will make it tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables. The vegetables in this recipe can be customized to your liking. Some good options include carrots, celery, cabbage, and bean sprouts.
- Don't overfill the spring rolls. Overfilling the spring rolls will make them difficult to roll and they may break apart during frying.
- Be careful when frying the spring rolls. Hot oil can be dangerous, so be sure to take precautions to avoid getting burned.
Conclusion:
These Thai Shrimp Spring Rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of shrimp, vegetables, and rice paper creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
