Method
1. Make the filling: Cut the peeled carrots, the leek and cooked chicken breast into small sizes.
Transfer the carrots and leek to a large pot, add the olive oil and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Break the noodles and add to the vegetables, cook for about 3-4 minutes more. Then add the chicken breast and spices, stir until well combined and remove from the heat. Add salt if needed.
2. Spring roll: Carefully peel off one spring roll wrapper, keep the others covered under a tea towel.
Place the wrapper in a diamond position on a cutting board. Place two tablespoons of filling on the bottom. Roll up halfway, fold sides in, then finish rolling. Use water to seal. 3. Fry the spring rolls: Pour enough oil in a wok or large saucepan. Heat on medium high until hot.
Carefully place spring rolls in the hot oil (about 7-8 at a time) and cook, turning occasionally, until deep golden - around 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.Repeat with remaining spring rolls.
4. Serve while hot with Sweet and Sour Sauce.
