Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • green curry paste
  • Thai basil leaves
Mix chopped Thai basil into the green curry paste to make it greener.
  • coconut milk
Reduce the coconut milk by about half.
Add the curry paste and keep cooking until well reduced and the coconut oil starts to split out, the sound turning from simmering to frying; stop before it is fully broken.
  • ground turkey
Add the ground turkey and cook through, breaking it up so there are no big lumps.
Cooking the turkey and palm sugar
  • palm sugar
Add the palm sugar early so it dissolves; break up lumps with the back of the spatula.
Once the meat is cooked, let the liquid evaporate so the wrapper does not get soggy.
  • red bell peppers
  • carrots
  • sweet corn
  • kaffir lime leaves
Add the red bell pepper, julienned carrot, sweet corn and finely julienned lime leaves; cook one minute to wilt.
  • fish sauce
  • cornstarch
Season with a dash of fish sauce as needed.
  • flour
Add the cornstarch and flour slurry and stir quickly so it does not gel in spots.
Binding the filling and cooling it
Spread on a plate to cool.
  • chopped basil
Stir extra chopped basil into the cooled filling.
  • spring roll wrappers
Cut eight-inch wrappers into quarters; use two pieces per roll, the top piece the one closer to you.
Cutting wrappers for mini spring rolls
Put about a tablespoon of filling on, fold over and pull back tight, close the sides before the filling passes the middle, tuck the corners and roll.
Wrapping and sealing
  • beaten egg
Seal the end with beaten egg before the last fold (cornstarch and water paste for vegan).
Variation: brush with oil and bake at 375 convection, "which would be 400 regular".
  • oil
Fry in 350F oil 4 to 5 minutes until golden; the filling is already cooked.
  • sweet chili dipping sauce
Let cool a little and serve with sweet chili dipping sauce.
