Here’s how you can cook Katoomba Spring Rolls:

How to Cook Katoomba Spring Rolls (Frozen):

1. Deep Frying (Traditional Method):

• Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok to medium-high heat.
• Carefully drop the frozen Katoomba spring rolls into the hot oil. Don’t thaw them before frying; cook directly from frozen.
• Fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Make sure to flip them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
• Once done, remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
• Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.

2. Oven Method (Healthier Option):

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
• Place the frozen spring rolls on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even baking.
• Optional: Brush the spring rolls with a light layer of oil before baking to help them crisp up.
• Once done, remove from the oven and serve hot with dipping sauces.

3. Air Fryer Method (Quick & Healthy Option):

• Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
• Place the frozen spring rolls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
• Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through for even cooking.
• Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Serving Suggestions:

• Katoomba Spring Rolls are best served with dipping sauces such as sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or tamarind chutney.
• They can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a larger meal.

Tips:

• Don’t thaw the spring rolls before cooking. Always cook them straight from frozen for the best texture.
• If you're deep frying, make sure the oil temperature is just right (medium-high) to ensure crispy spring rolls without absorbing too much oil.
• Air frying is a healthier alternative, giving you crispy spring rolls with much less oil.
