How to make delicious Tet spring rolls that last
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
First, soak the carrot, wood ear mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms until they plump up. Rinse the bean sprouts, glass noodles, and onion leaves. Then, put all the minced pork, bean sprouts, carrot, onion leaves, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, glass noodles, and eggs in a large bowl.
Step 2: Mix the filling ingredients
Next, mix all the prepared ingredients together. Season with a bit of seasoning, MSG, and pepper to suit your family’s taste.
Step 3: Wrap the spring rolls
After that, wrap the spring roll filling. Don’t wrap it too tightly, as the filling will expand and may break the spring rolls during frying.
Step 4: Fry the spring rolls
Heat a dry pan and turn on the stove. Add cooking oil and wait until it becomes hot. Then, fry the spring rolls until they become crispy and golden brown on both sides. Turn off the stove.
Note: To make your spring rolls crispy and long-lasting, fry them twice. This will make the spring rolls more fragrant and delicious. Also, while frying the spring rolls, keep the heat low to avoid burning the inside while the outside is still raw and burnt.
Step 5: Finished product
After frying the spring rolls, transfer them to a plate and prepare to enjoy them with your family.
When eating fried spring rolls, dip them in a sweet and sour sauce, along with fresh vegetables and vermicelli noodles. This is a refreshing dish after indulging in sticky rice cakes and chicken during the Tet holiday.
Lastly, a secret tip for frying spring rolls is to lightly brush vinegar on the rice paper before rolling. This will result in evenly golden and crispy spring rolls.
