Tips & Tricks

• For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with tofu or additional vegetables.
• Experiment with different dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or plum sauce.
• To make the rolls extra crispy, brush them with a beaten egg before frying.
• If you prefer a spicier filling, add a dash of hot sauce or chili flakes to the vegetable mixture.
• Make a large batch of Aussie Rolls and freeze them for later. Just thaw and fry whenever you crave a quick snack.
