...
- 1 pound (90–95%) lean ground beef
- 1 ½ teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Indian chili powder(or ½ teaspoon cayenne)- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- 2 small onion, finely chopped (~10 ounces chopped)
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped
- 1 Serrano peppers, seeded and minced (sub Jalapeño pepper)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 28-30 spring roll sheets, cut into 3 pieces pieces (Large Size)
- 1 egg white, whisked
- Oil, for frying - vegetable oil
...
- I used regular chilli powder instead of Indian chili powder. Next time, use cayenne.
- Make sure onions are supper small... food processor or maybe cook them next time.
Didn't have Serrano peppers, so omitted.
- Used lemon juice from plastic lemon.
...
- used 1 small onion or half large onion.
- Subbed Jalapeño for Serrano pepper.
- Used ½ teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro? Used a handful
- used food processor for onions, pepper and cilantro. Should have done them at the same time.
- Used lemon juice from plastic lemon.
- Used spring roll wrappers - SpringHome - TYJ Spring Roll Pastry
- Wrapping was a pain. I submerged the wrapper in cold water for about 30s to make it a bit easier to use. Seemed dried out.
How was it?
- Turned out ok. Wrapper is a bit thin. Would be better twice as thinkthick.
- Needed more spice/heat.
Attempt #3
- Added another jalapeño to it and 1/2 tsp cayenne.
- Used paste to stick wrappers together. Didn't wet the wrappers other than the past.
- Tried two wrappers at a time. Does make them thicker and crunchier.
How was it?
- Better. Could definitely add more heat.
- Need to get larger spring roll wrappers, then I could get more meat into them. As it was, I could only get 1 tbsp into each one.
Next Time
- More spices - 1-1.5 tsp cayenne
- 2 jalapeños or more.
- Maybe less or no cilantro
- Bigger spring roll wrappers or homemade pastry.
- Try air fry or maybe different oil?
