Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked lomein noodles
• 1 cup fresh vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, and cucumber, julienned)
• 1/2 cup cooked chicken or turkey, shredded
• 1 cup Takis chips, crushed
• 1 package spring roll wrappers
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
• Oil for frying

How To Make Takis Crunch Lomein Spring Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Start by cooking your lomein noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked lomein noodles, shredded chicken or turkey, and julienned fresh vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, cucumber). Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and chopped green onions. Toss everything gently to mix the flavors evenly. Finally, fold in the crushed Takis chips, which will add that signature spicy crunch.

Step 2: Assemble the Spring Rolls

Carefully separate the spring roll wrappers. Place one wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the two side corners tightly. Roll up the wrapper completely, sealing the top corner with a dab of water to ensure it sticks well. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Fry the Spring Rolls

Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the spring rolls in batches without overcrowding the pan. Fry them for 3 to 5 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Takis Crunch Lomein Spring Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce. A simple soy sauce or a sweet chili sauce complements the spicy Takis flavor beautifully. These spring rolls make for an impressive appetizer or a delicious snack that’s perfect for sharing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overfilling the spring roll wrappers – This can cause them to tear or burst open during frying.
• Using wet or soggy vegetables – Make sure the vegetables are fresh and properly julienned to avoid excess water that can make the rolls soggy.
• Not sealing the spring rolls properly – Use a little water to seal the edges firmly to prevent them from opening while frying.
• Overcrowding the frying pan – Fry spring rolls in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even crisping.
• Not letting the oil heat up enough – If the oil is too cool, spring rolls will absorb too much oil and become greasy.

Variations and Customizations

• Protein alternatives: Swap shredded chicken or turkey with cooked shrimp, tofu, or beef for a different twist.
• Vegetable mix: Add bean sprouts, cabbage, or green beans to the vegetable filling for extra crunch and flavor.
• Spice level: Adjust the amount of crushed Takis chips or add a sprinkle of chili flakes if you want it spicier.
• Dipping sauces: Experiment with peanut sauce, hoisin sauce, or a tangy tamarind dip to complement the spring rolls.
• Baking option: For a lighter version, brush the rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes until crispy.

How to Store Leftovers

To keep your Takis Crunch Lomein Spring Rolls fresh, allow them to cool completely after frying. Place them in an airtight container lined with paper towels to absorb any residual oil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, reheat in an air fryer or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it may make the wrappers soggy.

FAQ

Can I prepare the filling in advance?

Yes! You can prepare the filling up to a day ahead and refrigerate it. Just make sure to add the crushed Takis chips right before assembling the spring rolls to keep their crunch intact.

What can I use if I can’t find spring roll wrappers?

Rice paper wrappers or egg roll wrappers can be great substitutes, though the texture will vary slightly. Rice paper wrappers need to be softened in water before use, while egg roll wrappers are thicker and crispier when fried.

Is it possible to make these spring rolls vegan?

Absolutely. Replace the shredded chicken with firm tofu or tempeh and skip the chicken or turkey altogether. Use a soy sauce that is vegan-friendly and load up on the vegetables for a delicious vegan version.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes, baking is a healthier alternative. Brush the spring rolls lightly with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Turn them halfway through baking for even color.
