The Thai style spring roll filling has bean sprouts and thin noodles as well. For a healthy option and better crunch I like to bake it,” says Linsy.

Method
- Cut all vegetables into match stick size strips.
- Heat a wok. Add oil. Add ginger, chilli and garlic and saute till you get nice aroma.
- Add all chopped vegetables, noodles and seasoning.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes only, you need crunch in vegetables so don't overcook it.
- Defrost the wrappers while filling cools down.
- Once filling is cold, start making the rolls.
