Instruction
- step 1
Tip the cabbage into a food processor and blitz until finely chopped

step 2
Soak the spring roll sheets for a couple of seconds in a shallow dish of warm water, then transfer to an oiled chopping board
- Working with one sheet at a time, spoon 1 heaped tbsp of the filling into the middle, then fold the bottom up and over the filling
- Fold down the top of the sheet, then the sides to fully encase and make a neat square
- If the dumpling feels a little fragile, soak another sheet and wrap it again
- Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling, transferring the dumplings to an oiled plate as you go

step 3
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan (ensuring it is no more than a third full) over a medium-high heat and fry the dumplings for 3-5 mins until golden brown
