Start by poaching the chicken thigh in water for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it sit in the water for another 10 minutes before draining.

Keep some of the poaching liquid for later use as broth.

Marinate the poached chicken thigh with Chinese five spice, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic.

Heat oil in a pan to about 180-190 degrees Celsius for frying.

Roll the spring rolls by placing the filling at the start of the rice paper, folding it over, and then folding in the sides to create an envelope shape.

Use a damp cloth to keep the rice paper moist while rolling to prevent it from drying out.

Fry the spring rolls for about 4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
