How to wrap delicious spring rolls for Tet

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients: Soak the dried wood ear mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms in water until they soften, then wash and finely chop them. Julienne the jicama, carrot, onion, and shallot. Soak the glass noodles until soft, then cut them into small pieces. Wash the Vietnamese coriander and chives, then finely chop them. Finely chop the dried shallots. Peel the shrimp and chop them into small pieces.

Step 2: Mix the filling

First, put the minced pork in a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, 1 teaspoon of chicken powder, 1 teaspoon of soup base powder, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, and 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Mix well. Then, add the chopped vegetables to the bowl and mix until well combined. Only add the eggs when you are ready to wrap the spring rolls to prevent the filling from becoming watery.

Step 3: Wrap the spring rolls

Place a rice paper wrapper on a flat surface, lightly dampen it with beer using a cloth to make it soft, and then use half of another rice paper wrapper to prevent the filling from leaking. Scoop an appropriate amount of filling onto the wrapper, add 2-3 chopped shrimp pieces, and wrap it tightly with your hands.

Note: When wrapping, make sure to wrap evenly and maintain equal sizes for the spring rolls. Do not wrap too tightly to avoid them from breaking during frying.

Step 4: Fry the spring rolls

To make the spring rolls crispy and delicious, fry them twice. First, heat the cooking oil and fry the spring rolls on low heat until they turn golden and are about 70-80% cooked. Remove them and let them cool on paper towels.

Step 5: After the spring rolls are fried to a crispy golden color, check that the outer skin is crispy and visually appealing, and the filling is not dry but soft and flavorful with a combination of meat, shrimp, and vegetables.

Frequently asked questions

Frying spring rolls immediately in hot oil can result in greasy and soggy rolls. By taking an extra step of setting the heat to low and frying the rolls slowly, you achieve a crispier texture and reduce the greasiness.

After wrapping the spring rolls, set the stove to low heat and slowly fry the rolls. This allows the filling to cook thoroughly and the wrapper to become crispy without absorbing too much oil.

Fry the spring rolls on low heat for about 5-7 minutes or until the wrapper turns slightly yellow and crispy. Then, increase the heat to medium-high and fry for an additional 3-5 minutes to get the desired golden-brown color.

Using a paper towel to absorb excess oil after frying helps to reduce the greasiness of the spring rolls. It ensures that the rolls are crispy and not dripping with oil, making them more enjoyable to eat.
