Spring rolls



What are they?  Spring rolls not according to the crazy 88's I work with.   I guess it would be a Vietnamese egg roll, but not really.  I will say they were good and worth the effort. 

Egg Rolls
Pkg spring roll wrappers
1 # ground pork
1 bunch green onion
1 carrot
1 serving rice vermicelli
1/2 head green cabbage
1 egg

Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

  • 1/4 cup dark soy sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 scallion, finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • Combine all ingredients and stir.

    Let your wrappers come to room temp before wrapping your roll. Cook rice vermicelli according to directions.   Brown pork in skillet adding seasonings to taste ( salt ,pepper, ground ginger).  Add grated carrot and finely chopped onion to pork cook  till soft, remove from heat.  Saute thinly sliced cabbage in a little sesame oil till wilted then combine with pork, veggies and noodles and stir.
    Take a spoonful of mixture and place in wrapper roll each wrapper and seal edge with a little egg wash.
    Fry in hot oil until they reach the color you like.
    This is a family exercise I make a big wok of fried rice and this can be your whole meal.
