1 Add Shrimp to Your Spring Roll Filling

Instead of just using ground pork as the main ingredient, try adding finely chopped shrimp to your spring roll filling. This will give your spring rolls a sweet and delicate flavor, making them absolutely delicious.

2 Use Crushed, Toasted Peppercorns

– Finely ground pepper can make the filling mushy, while whole peppercorns don’t impart enough flavor.

– To get the perfect balance of flavor and texture, toast whole peppercorns and crush them before adding to your filling. Add the crushed peppercorns in two stages: first, after grinding the meat, mix it with the chopped scallions to marinate the meat and give it a natural peppery kick.

– The second time is just before rolling the spring rolls. Mix the crushed peppercorns with the filling, then roll and fry.

3 Gently Mix the Filling, Don’t Squeeze

– To prevent the filling from releasing water, gently mix all the ingredients together without squeezing the mixture.

Add just enough egg to bind the filling without making it too wet or dry. Too much egg will cause the spring rolls to fall apart, while too little will result in dry, unappetizing rolls.

4 Use Thin Rice Paper and Roll Tightly

– Choose thin rice paper and roll your spring rolls tightly, with multiple layers. This will ensure that they fry up nice and crispy. Avoid using thick rice paper, as it can make the spring rolls tough and hard to chew.

Add a few drops of lemon juice to the water you dip the rice paper in. This will give your spring rolls a beautiful golden color when fried.

5 Double Fry Your Spring Rolls

– Frying your spring rolls twice ensures that they cook evenly and results in an extra crispy exterior.

– For the first fry, use a low flame to cook the filling thoroughly. Then, remove the spring rolls from the oil and drain the excess oil. Just before serving, fry them a second time over high heat to get that gorgeous golden color.

Frequently asked questions

To make crispy and delicious spring rolls, you’ll need to follow a few key steps. First, prepare the filling by mixing shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and minced pork with seasonings like soy sauce, oyster sauce, and pepper. Next, assemble the rolls by placing a heaping tablespoon of the filling on a spring roll wrapper and rolling it tightly. Seal the edges with a cornstarch slurry. Heat oil in a pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and fry the rolls in batches until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce!

For the filling, it’s important to shred the carrots finely and squeeze out any excess liquid from the bean sprouts to avoid a soggy filling. You can also add other vegetables like shredded cabbage or minced mushrooms for extra flavor and texture. Make sure the pork is also finely minced and well-seasoned.

Absolutely! You can substitute the minced pork with shrimp, chicken, or even make a vegetarian option by using tofu or extra vegetables. Just make sure to adjust the seasonings accordingly.

To seal the spring roll wrappers, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with water. Brush this mixture along the edges of the wrapper before rolling. This will act as a glue and ensure your spring rolls stay closed during frying.

The ideal temperature for frying spring rolls is between 350-360 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the spring rolls cook through and become crispy without burning. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed.

Fry the spring rolls in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown. Make sure to not overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the oil temperature and affect the crispness of the spring rolls.

There are several dipping sauces that pair well with spring rolls. You can try a sweet chili sauce, a tangy peanut sauce, a simple soy dipping sauce, or even a plum sauce. Experiment with different sauces to find your favorite combination!
