Crispy Pork Vegetable Rolls Recipes

SPRING ROLL RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add garlic, stir quickly, then add pork. Cook, breaking it up as you go, until it turns white.
• Add carrot, bean sprouts, cabbage and mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add cornflour, soy sauce and Oyster sauce, cook for 1 minute until the liquid is gone. The Filling should not be watery, it should be kind of sticky (watery filling = soggy spring rolls = ? ).
• Cool Filling (super speedy: spread on tray, refrigerate 5 minutes). (Hot filling = spring rolls burst open = ? )
• Mix cornflour and water in a small bowl (for sealing the rolls).
• Carefully peel off one spring roll wrapper, keep the others covered under a damp tea towel.
• Place the wrapper with the SMOOTH SIDE DOWN (Note 3) in a diamond position. Place a very heaped dessert spoon of filling on the bottom. Roll up halfway, fold sides in, then finish rolling. Use cornflour sludge to seal. (Watch VIDEO below). They should be about 12 cm / 5" long, 2.5cm / 1" wide once wrapped.
• Pour enough oil in a wok or large saucepan (Note 4) so it is double the height of the spring rolls. Heat on medium high until hot - stick a bamboo chopstick or wooden spoon handle in, if rapid bubbles appear, then it's hot enough.
• Carefully place spring rolls in the oil (about 4 - 5 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. Serve while hot with Sweet and Sour Sauce!
• Place spring rolls on a rack and place the rack on a tray. Spray very generously with oil all over (use canola or other natural oil). Bake at 200C/400F (standard) or 180C/350F (fan / convection) for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and crispy - no need to turn.
• Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring regularly, then simmer until it thickens to taste (about 3 - 5 minutes).

BAKED PORK SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place pork in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove from heat and drain.
• In a medium bowl, mix together pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, cilantro, sesame oil, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic and chile sauce.
• Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
• Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of spring roll wrappers. Roll wrappers around the mixture, folding edges inward to close. Moisten fingers in the cornstarch and water mixture, and brush wrapper seams to seal.
• Arrange spring rolls in a single layer on a medium baking sheet. Brush with vegetable oil. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, until hot and lightly browned. For crispier spring rolls, turn after 10 minutes,

CRISPY PORK & VEGETABLE ROLLS

Steps:

• Blend the cornflour with 3 tbsp cold water to make a paste to stick the rolls together. Put the noodles in a heatproof bowl, pour over boiling water to cover and leave for 3 minutes. Drain. Cool under running cold water, then drain well, tip into a large bowl and snip into small pieces with scissors.
• Add the pork, garlic, carrot, mushrooms, coriander, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Mix together well with your hands.
• Take one wrapper out of the pack and put it on a board (keep the rest covered or they will dry out). Cut the wrapper in four and put a heaped teaspoon of filling onto one side of each square, brushing the sides with paste as you go (1), fold over the end, then the two sides (2) and roll up (3). Make the rest in the same way. Cover and chill until needed.
• Heat about 3cm of oil in a wok or frying pan, add half the rolls and fry until crisp and golden, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on kitchen paper and cook the rest. Serve on a platter with lettuce leaves, mint sprigs and a small bowl of dipping sauce. Get each guest to take a leaf of lettuce and a mint spring, then wrap it around a roll with a slick of sauce - a lovely combination.
