6 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Sauté the minced pork with shredded cabbage, carrots, and bean sprouts for 6 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.
  2. 2 Squeeze the filling mixture through a sieve and let it cool completely; a wet filling will cause the crust to burst when fried.
  3. 3 Using a thick wheat flour wrapper instead of a thin rice paper wrapper is what distinguishes Asian spring rolls.
  4. 4 Roll the paper tightly into a stick about the size of a toe, then seal the joints with cornstarch paste.
  5. 5 Deep-fry at 170 degrees for 6 minutes until the crust is thick, puffy, and golden brown.
  6. 6 Remove from the pan and place on a spit, then serve with sweet chili sauce.
