    ½ yellow onion, 1 medium carrot, 5 cloves garlic
  • Peel taro and grate into a bowl.
    350 g taro
  • ONLY rinse the grated taro once, in cold water. This is to make sure there is still some of the starch remaining for the cooking process. Make sure to drain out all the water.

  • If the filling is falling apart easily, add a tablespoon of corn starch to help thicken it.
  • Allow the filling to cool down before wrapping.

Wrapping

  • Mix together corn starch slurry ingredients.
    2 tbsp corn starch, 2 tbsp water
  • Add 3-4 tbsp of filling onto the spring roll wrapper.

  • Fold the corner pointing at you over the filling until it touches the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the left and right corners towards the middle.
  • Spread the corn starch slurry along the edges of the final corner pointing away from you then roll the spring roll towards that corner to seal.
  • Optionally repeat this again to double wrap which results in extra crispy final product.

Frying

  • Deep fry at 350F for 8-10 minutes until golden brown or brush with oil and airfry at 390F for 10-15 minutes
  • Serve with worcestershire sauce and enjoy!
