The 5 layers of Noodle Spring Rolls
Noodle Spring Rolls is built from 5 parts. They are listed in the order you meet them, and the numbers match the diagram.
The crisp wrapper
A thin sheet of dough, wrapped around the filling and sealed with a flour paste so it fries into a crisp, golden shell.
The noodles
Hakka-style noodles, cooked and cooled, that fill the roll with soft, saucy strands.
The vegetables
Shredded cabbage, carrot and capsicum, stir-fried briefly so they stay crunchy inside the roll.
The seasoning
Soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and chilli that flavour the noodles and vegetables.
The dipping sauce
A sweet-and-hot chilli sauce or Schezwan sauce served on the side.

What it is made of
