How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- Choose pieces of breast with white skin because this is mature chicken and the meat will be chewier and tastier. When pressing on the meat, it should have elasticity, not be mushy.
- Avoid choosing pieces of breast with many white streaks; the more streaks there are, the less fat and protein, and the meat will absorb spices more difficultly when cooked.
How to choose fresh cucumbers
- You can choose cucumbers that are bright green, evenly colored, and intact.
- It is better to select those that are straight, elongated, and not curved, as these cucumbers are more fleshy, sweet, and crispy than those of uneven size.
- Avoid buying cucumbers with bumps, yellow or white spots, that feel light and too soft. Choose those that are of medium size, feel heavy, and have smooth skin.
How to choose fresh carrots
- Choose carrots that are bright, deep orange, with smooth skin, green tops, and not bruised.
- Additionally, select those that are still firm, with medium size.
- Avoid choosing those with wilted tops, cracks on the body, or spots, and those with green tips.

Simple Chicken Spring Rolls Preparation Method
-
Crush the roasted sesame seeds
Crush the roasted white sesame seeds.
-
Make the sesame dipping sauce
Add the crushed roasted sesame seeds to a bowl, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons of sesame oil, then stir well to make the sauce.
-
Prepare the chicken breast
Remove the skin from the chicken breast you bought, wash it with water, then rub salt and crushed ginger all over the breast piece, then rinse with clean water to eliminate the fishy smell, and then use a knife to slice the chicken breast thinly.
-
Boiled Chicken Breast
Put a pan on the stove with 600ml of water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of rice wine, 15g of sliced ginger, and chopped green onions into the pot. When the water boils, add the chicken breast, cover the pot, and boil the chicken for 15 minutes on low heat.
After boiling, take the chicken out and place it in a bowl, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it cool, then shred the chicken into small pieces.
Tip: Ginger and rice wine will help reduce the odor of the chicken.
-
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the butter lettuce, mint leaves, and coriander with water, then drain.
Cut the carrot and cucumber into thin strips.
How to Prepare Cucumber Without Bitterness:
- You can cut the cucumber lengthwise, sprinkle a little salt on it, and rub the two pieces of cucumber together until white foam appears. Rinse and it is ready to use.
- You can also cut off both ends, then rub the ends in a circular motion many times until white foam appears, then rinse thoroughly.
-
Rolling Spring Rolls
Prepare a large bowl and fill it with hot water, dip the rice paper into the water for about 8 – 10 seconds, then place it on a flat surface. Gradually add lettuce, chicken, carrots, and cucumber at the bottom of the rice paper, then add cilantro and mint on top. Roll it tightly from the bottom up.
Tip: Dip the rice paper moderately because if you soak it too much, it will absorb water and become too soft, making the spring rolls less tasty.
-
Final Product
The chicken spring rolls are extremely easy to make but are no less fragrant and appealing, especially when eaten with sesame dipping sauce.
