How to make spicy noodle spring rolls
Firstly, cook the noodles. I recommend boiling them for 1 minute less than recommended by the packet instructions. This will keep them deliciously chewy.
Drain the noodles and tip them in a bowl. Roughly chop with scissors before adding in the seasoning packets. Mix until fully combined.
Then, dip your rice paper into water for 2 seconds. Lay onto a plate. Arrange the the cheese and nori pieces as shown in the picture below.
After that, top with one fifth of the noodles. Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the noodles, and tuck in the sides. Fold over to close the spring rolls. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan. Pan fry the spring rolls until golden and crispy on both sides, around 5 minutes.
Finally, serve the crispy spring rolls with the spicy mayo.
Spicy noodles for spring rolls:
I used buldak carbonara noodles. You can use any of the Samyang buldak fire noodles. These are my favourite noodles to use:
Where to buy rice paper:
I used 22cm circular rice paper wrappers to make my spring rolls. These are easy to find in most Asian supermarkets. If not, you can buy rice paper on Amazon.
Pro-tips:
- Do not dip the rice paper in water for too long. So long as the rice paper has been fully submerged it will soften quickly. Dipping it for too long may cause it to fall apart.
- For extra crunch, double wrap the spring rolls. Double wrapping the spring rolls will also prevent them from tearing.
- Chop up the noodles with scissors before adding the seasoning packets. This will make it easier to make the spring rolls.
Do you need to fry fire noodle spring rolls?
If you prefer, you can enjoy these spring rolls without frying them.
