cabbage

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: lettuce

Kale adds nutrients, while lettuce is often less expensive.

🥗Healthier: shredded zucchini

💰Cheaper: shredded carrots

Zucchini is lower in calories, while carrots are budget-friendly.

Sauté 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant.

Add 500g diced beancurds and pan fry until they form a golden crust.

Once the golden crust is formed, add 1/4 chopped cabbage and 1 large julienned carrot.

Season with pink salt to taste, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp five spice powder.

Stir fry until all ingredients are incorporated, being careful not to overcook the vegetables.

Set the filling aside.

Boil 500g tamarind chuck until fully softened.

Mash tamarind pulp using a strainer to extract all the pulp, keeping the seeds and pulp for later use.

Let the tamarind pulp cool down and set aside.

Boil 500g jaggeries in 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Once boiling, turn off the heat when jaggeries are fully dissolved and strain to remove impurities.

Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing 6 tbsps of chili sauce, 6 tbsps tamarind paste, and 3 tbsps jaggery liquid, adjusting for taste with pink salt.

Boil the dipping sauce again to preserve it, then turn off the heat and set aside.

Place a spring roll wrapper on a plate and add 2-3 tbsps of filling closest to you.

Fold the bottom of the wrapper twice, fold the two sides to the middle, and roll to the end to seal.

Repeat until all filling is utilized.

Test the oil temperature by inserting a chopstick; it’s ready when bubbles form around it.

Add the spring rolls to the oil and fry until golden brown, controlling the temperature.

Remove from oil when all sides are golden brown.

Cut bite-sized fried spring rolls onto a serving plate, spread dipping sauce over them, and garnish with spring onion.

Serve immediately.
