My 19 months old son is very fascinated over chinese recipes and different snacks whenever we go out or when I make them for my family at home. He especially loves chinese spring rolls recipe that I prepare for my family.
So I decided to make it a bit kid friendly and light on his tummy.
I reduced the number of spices, skipped Ajinomoto and reduced amount of Maida.
