75 grams red bell pepper 1/2 deseeded and finely diced

5 ml black pepper freshly ground
250 ml fresh coriander leaves and stems finely chopped
250 ml mozzarella cheese grated
oil for frying

Assembly

25 spring roll wrappers
60 ml cake flour
30 ml water

Instructions

Poaching chicken breasts

Place the bone-in chicken breasts, onion and salt in a pot or high rimmed pan and cover with water.
Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer and cover the pot with a lid.
Poach for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool then shred the chicken.

Spring roll assembly

Sauté the onions with oil until lightly golden then remove from the heat and leave to cool completely.
Peel and grate the carrots then wrap in a clean dish towel and squeeze out the excess liquid. This will prevent a soggy filling.
Mix the cooled chicken and onion with the grated carrot and diced peppers, chopped herbs, chilli and spices.
Add the cold grated cheese to the vegetable mixture and mix to combine.
Make a paste from the flour and water.
To assemble the spring rolls take one sheet and brush with the flour and water paste on three sides.
Place a tablespoon of filling near the bottom of the wrapper on the end closest to you.
Fold the left and rights sides toward the center then roll the bottom edge away from you. Continue rolling until you seal with the top edge.
Fry in hot oil until golden and drain on kitchen paper.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
