In this article, we will guide you through the process of making fresh spring rolls, ensuring that you can enjoy this delightful treat at home. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
To make fresh spring rolls, you will need the following ingredients:
– 10-12 spring roll wrappers
– 1 cup shredded cabbage
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 1 cup bean sprouts
– 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
– 1 cup shredded pork or shrimp (optional)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon minced garlic
– 1 teaspoon grated ginger
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, cucumber, and shredded pork or shrimp (if using). Set aside.
2. Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
3. Soften the spring roll wrappers: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Place one spring roll wrapper at a time in the boiling water for about 10-15 seconds, until it becomes soft and pliable. Remove the wrapper with a slotted spoon and lay it flat on a plate.
4. Assemble the spring rolls: Place a small amount of the filling mixture in the center of the softened spring roll wrapper. Roll the wrapper tightly, tucking in the edges as you go, to form a tight roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
5. Fry the spring rolls: Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the assembled spring rolls to the skillet, seam-side down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the wrappers are golden brown and crispy. Remove the spring rolls from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve: Serve the fresh spring rolls warm with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your homemade fresh spring rolls as a delightful appetizer or a satisfying meal!
