Jalapeno Spring Rolls
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
- 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 -ounce water
- 8 spring roll wrappers
- Peanut oil, for frying
- Combine the cream cheese, shredded Cheddar, and diced jalapenos with a mixer.
- Chill the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Make a paste by stirring the flour and water together.
- This will be used to glue the spring roll wrapper closed.
- Divide the cheese mixture into 8 even pieces.
- With your hands, roll each piece into a log shape then wrap each in a spring roll wrapper.
- To roll in the wrapper, lay a wrapper on the counter with 1 corner pointing toward you.
- Place the cheese log near that corner.
- Wrap that corner around the cheese and roll the whole thing up until the cheese log is level with the 2-sided corner.
- At this point fold both side corners to the center.
- Continue to roll it up until almost to the final corner.
- Use your finger to paint some of the flour paste on that corner.
- Finish rolling to seal the corner to the roll.
- Let spring rolls rest for about 10 minutes while the oil is heating.
- Fill a large heavy Dutch oven no more than halfway full with peanut oil.
- Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
- When the oil reaches temperature, gently slip a few of the spring rolls in the oil.
- Fry for about 2 minutes or until the wrapper is golden brown.
- When the spring rolls are done, lift them out of the oil with a slotted spoon or spatula and let them drain on a cooling rack over a sheet pan.
- Repeat with remaining spring rolls.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before eating.
