Pan Rolls

Absolute love for these delicious stuffed pan rolls/spring rolls!! You can stuff these spring rolls with your choice of mince meat or veggies! 

These crepes are simply made with flour, water and eggs. Pre-cook these savory crepes for about 2-3 minutes and keep the stuffing ready!

Roll these up, shallow fry with olive oil until golden brown & be ready to devour!! Another way to devour these pan rolls is to brush with egg wash and coat with bread crumbs before shallow frying!! 

Serve with a tangy homemade dipping sauce or just with tomato ketchup!

For frying the pan rolls:

• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp olive oil

PROCEDURE

1. To make the savory crepe, to a large bowl whisk one egg with ½ tsp salt. Add about 1 and ¼ cup water, whisk again
2. Add the flour, whisk and ensure there are no lumps ( you can use a hand blender at this stage to get a smooth batter) 
3. Adjust the water consistency if required 
4. Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Add about ¼ cup of the batter. Hold the handle of the pan and spread the batter in circular motion
5. After 2 minutes, flip the crepe, let it cook for a minute and remove it on a plate and let it cool at room temperature 
6. Follow these steps, until the batter is utilized. This batter would make around 12 crepes

For the filling:

1. Heat a wok to medium high heat and add about 1 tsp of oil
2. Firstly add the diced onions and saute until golden brown. Then add the sliced bell pepper and saute for about a minute
3. Add the mince and saute for about 2-3 minutes 
4. Add 3 cloves of grated garlic and about ½ inch of grated ginger. Saute these fresh ingredients before you start adding the spices 
5. For the spices, add about a tsp of pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp red chilli flakes & a pinch of salt (Around 1 tsp). Combine these spices and then add about 2 tsp dark soy sauce and a few sprigs freshly chopped cilantro
6. Saute this well and by now the meat should be all cooked. Taste and adjust the spice level and salt if required 
7. Cool this filling mixture to room temperature before you start to assemble the pan rolls

For assembling the pan rolls & fry:

1. On a flat surface or a large wooden board, place one crepe and place about 1 tbsp of the filling (See video on how to assemble and fold the pan rolls) 
2. Fold on both sides and roll. Roll again and apply a little flour slurry to seal the rolls (You may want to be a little patient at this stage while rolling the pan rolls
3. Repeat this stage and keep all the 12 pan rolls ready to be shallow fried 
4. Now you egg wash each pan roll immediately 
5. Drop them into a wide bowl or plate full of bread crumbs 
6. In a pan, add a little oil and shallow fry these pan rolls until golden brown and a crispy crust ( You can also skip the egg wash & bread crumbs stage and directly shallow fry in a little oil until golden brown) 
7. These pan rolls are hot & ready to devoured with this amazing dipping sauce or just ketchup

For dipping sauce:

1. In a small bowl or dipping sauce bowl, combine 3 cloves of grated garlic, 1 inch of grated ginger, zest of 1 lemon, a tsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp apple cider vinegar, ¼ tsp sugar, ¼ tsp red chilli flakes. Whisk and well combine. 
2. Taste and adjust the tangy level by adding more apple cider vinegar or soy sauce as required
