Mushroom and smoked chicken crispy spring rolls and chilli dipping sauce

Makes 18
For the chilli dipping sauce

• 3 tbsp light soy sauce 
• 2 tbsp rice-wine vinegar 
• 1 tbsp Chinese chilli oil 
• 1 tsp sesame oil 
• 1 tsp grated ginger 
• 1 tsp dried chilli flakes

For the spring rolls

• 100g/3½oz smoked chicken breast, shredded 
• 1 carrot, shredded 
• 50g/2oz bamboo shoots, shredded 
• 5 spring onions, shredded 
• 50g/2oz shiitake mushrooms, shredded 
• 10g/½oz dried black fungus mushrooms, rehydrated and shredded 
• 18 spring-roll wrappers (approx 150mm x 150mm) 
• Light-flavoured oil for deep frying

1. Mix all of the dipping sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
2. To make the spring rolls, mix all of the filling ingredients together with a pinch of white pepper. Lay the spring-roll wrappers on a flat surface and place one tablespoon of the filling diagonally across the bottom half of one wrapper. Fold the corner of the wrapper over the filling then fold in both sides then roll up to form a spring roll. Set aside while you make the remaining spring rolls.
3. Heat about 5cm of oil in a heavy-based pan, you will know it is hot enough when a cube of bread dropped in the oil turns golden in 30 seconds. Gently lower the spring rolls into the oil a couple at a time and cook until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen towel and keep warm. When all the spring rolls are cooked, serve with the chilli dipping sauce.
