Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork (or chicken, beef, or turkey)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 package spring roll wrappers (about 12-14 wrappers)
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Sweet chili sauce or soy sauce, for dipping

How to Make Savory Spring Rolls

1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the shredded carrots and cabbage to the skillet, stirring to combine. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
4. Prepare your spring roll wrappers according to package instructions. Lay a wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you.
5. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat and vegetable mixture near the corner closest to you. Fold that corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly away from you. Seal the edge with a dab of water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
6. In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add spring rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
7. Remove the rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• Don’t overfill the wrappers; too much filling can make them difficult to seal.
• Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying; this ensures a crispy exterior.
• If you prefer a healthier version, try baking the spring rolls in the oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground meat with tofu for a vegetarian option.
• Add herbs like cilantro or mint for a fresh twist.
• Experiment with different vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or bean sprouts.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh cucumber salad with a tangy dressing.
• Steamed edamame sprinkled with sea salt.
• A bowl of hot and sour soup.
• Crispy potstickers for a complete appetizer spread.
