Spring Rolls

Yummy Spring Rolls 

Home made spring rolls before frying.

Ingredients: 

500g minced pork or beef
200g bean sprouts
1 small onion grated
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 medium size carrot
grated 3 tbsp soy sauce 3 stalks of eshallots, cut in small pieces
1 tbsp salt dash of pepper
1 egg 1 tbsp corn flour
 pork or beef stock (optional)
spring roll pastry (squares)

Method:

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. 

Pull out gently one square pastry. Put the square pastry in a plate so it looks like a diamond shape (with a corner pointing up (north), a corner pointing down (south), one pointing left (west) and the other pointing right (east). Add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of the minced pork or beef mixture in the center. Use your hands to elongate the minced pork mixture. Fold the south corner over the  pork/beef mixture. Fold the right corner over, and then the left corner over. Roll the spring roll to the north corner. Repeat this for the rest of the square pastries.

Turn the stove heat between medium and high. Add a generous amount of oil to a deep frying pan. After the oil is warmed (about 5 min), add the spring rolls to the pan. 

Cook them for about 3 to 5 min and then turn them over so both sides become golden. Once both sides are golden, transfer them to a strainer to drain the excess oil. Put them on some paper towel to drain further excess oil.

Serve with sweet chilli sauce.
