When forming the spring rolls, it’s important to ensure a small to medium amount is scooped in the centre to ensure the roll is tight.  

Once prepared, the spring rolls can be baked in the oven for a few minutes or fried in boiling oil.

To ensure the spring rolls are crispy and not soggy, Tiffany said it’s essential to ensure the pastry is dry before cooking.

The social media post impressed other home cooks who were inspired to make the side dish themselves.

‘Looks great!’ one person said, another added: ‘Delicious!’

A third said: ‘I use the same filling for my dumplings – I just add cabbage and don’t have a fryer so I bake the spring rolls in the oven.’
