Method

  1. Heat the oil in a wok over a medium-high heat; fry the onion for 6-8 mins. Add the garlic and spring onions; fry for another 1-2 mins, then add the stir-fry veg and fry for 2 mins more.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C; put a baking tray with a wire rack on top inside to heat up. Whisk the soy sauce and cornflour together in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. Add the sugar, curry powder, turmeric and cumin to the wok and toss to coat; season with white pepper. Stir in the bamboo shoots and soy sauce mix. Tip everything onto a large baking sheet, divide into 10 portions and set aside for 5 mins to cool.
  4. Beat the egg with 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Place a filo sheet on a board with a corner pointing towards you and brush the edges with eggwash. Spoon 1 portion of the cooled veg mix onto the lower third of the pastry, then fold the tip of the corner over the filling to create a cylinder about 8cm long. Turn in the sides to enclose, then continue to roll. Set aside and repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
  5. Transfer to the preheated rack and brush with the remaining eggwash. Bake for 20-22 mins until golden and crispy; set aside for 5-10 mins to cool slightly. Serve with curry sauce for dipping, if you like.
