Ingredients

• 1 tsp olive oil
• 150 g lean minced beef
• 2 tbsp diced red onion
• 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3-4 tbsp grated mozzarella cheese
• 3 tbsp fresh breadcrumbs
• 1 chive, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 egg, whisked
• 64 spring roll wrappers

Sriracha mayonnaise

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp tomato Sauce
• 1 tbsp Sriracha chilli sauce

Instructions

1. Combine olive oil, beef, red onion, parsley, mustard, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, chives, garlic and half of the whisked egg in a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix until combined.
2. Place 1 tbsp mixture in centre of bottom-third of spring roll wrapper. Using a pastry brush, brush sides with a little of the remaining egg. Fold sides of the wrapper over. Brush a little more of the egg over the front, then roll the mixture tightly until it reaches the other end. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
3. Fill a large saucepan with enough oil to cover spring rolls. Preheat to 180°C. Cook spring rolls, in batches, for 4–5 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to paper towel to drain excess oil.
