Crispy Fried Spring Rolls Recipe with Philips Airfryer

If there is one style of snack and food item that every Malaysian absolutely can’t say no to, it is deep-fried. Deep fry anything, and we mean anything, it would most likely fly off serving trays. It can be your regular pisang goreng to the quirkier deep-fried Mars chocolate bars, and even deep-fried ice cream, Malaysians will eat it.

But, let’s not get carried away and perhaps stick to a more staple fried goodness this Chinese New Year, which are fried spring rolls! A light snack that goes well in this Malaysian heat with an icy cold drink, spring rolls can be made with meat or keep it purely vegetarian.

This recipe calls for a filling with chicken breast and vegetables. Just whip up the ingredients, cook the chicken breast and let the Philips Airfryer do all the talking, in this case, all the sizzling.

Also, did we mention that by using the Airfryer, your spring rolls will taste amazing without being oily? Choose this healthier way of cooking and make the most out of your meals!
