Prepare the filling by chopping haggis and vegetables (cabbage, carrot, celery, onion, daikon) into small pieces.

In a preheated wok, add 2-3 tablespoons of peanut oil, then add 1 tablespoon of chopped ginger and 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic, stir-frying for about 15 seconds.

Add all the chopped vegetables to the wok and stir-fry until slightly softened.

Add 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce and mix well with the filling.

Add haggis to the mixture and stir, then add half a cup of boiling water with chicken soup base or chicken stock, mixing until combined.

Scoop the filling into a bowl and let it cool.

Take a 12-inch spring roll wrapper and place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center.

Use egg wash around the edges of the wrapper to seal.

Fold the wrapper in half to create a half-moon shape, ensuring it is sealed well.

Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350°F and carefully add the dumplings one at a time.

Deep fry the dumplings for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
