Pork & Prawn Spring Rolls.
Ingredients:
( Serves approximately 24 spring rolls )
Filling:
鈥� 250g Pork Mince chopped/bashed down again with a meat cleaver or strong knife.
鈥� Half a bag of 225g Frozen king prawns ( defrosted ) and then chopped as fine as you can get them. - These are still great flavour to fresh but cheaper in price.
鈥� 1/2 227g tin of water chestnuts chopped
鈥� 1-2 carrots depending on size, into strips using a veg peeler.
鈥� 2-3 leaves of Chinese cabbage/lettuce or you could use pak choi shredded.
鈥� 2-3 spring onions finely chopped
鈥� 2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
鈥� 2 thumbnail size amounts of fresh ginger grated
鈥� 1 tsp of Chinese five spice
鈥� a handful of fresh coriander chopped
鈥� a good pinch of caster sugar
鈥� 2 tbsp light soy sauce
鈥� 1 tbsp oyster sauce.
- 1 packet of spring roll wrappers/pastry, defrosted. ( I used 250g weight ones but any other size, you can cut them down.
- 1ltr bottle of vegetable oil or groundnut oil.
- 2 tbsp of cornflour mixed with a little water for your "Glue"
- A wok to deep fry in!
Method:
鈥� Place a damp towel over your spring roll pastry to keep them moist.
鈥� Put all ingredients for the filling into a mixing bowl and mix through.
鈥� Heat your oil in the wok. Pop in a piece of bread to see when it is ready for deep frying.
鈥� Onto a plate take two of your wrappers and place the square into a diamond shape, so as a corner is facing you.
鈥� Take a tablespoon of your mixture and place it in the centre of your parcel, making a rectangular shape.
鈥� Fold the corner into the middle which is nearest to you, then fold in the outer corners to the centre of the spring roll. A bit like an envelope.Tuck in and roll to the centre. Place some of your cornflour mixture around the top corner to form a " glue" and roll into your spring roll.
鈥� Pop into hot oil and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
鈥� Take out with a slotted spoon and drain onto kitchen paper.
鈥� Simply serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.
