Chinese Spring Rolls are a popular snack in Chinese cuisine, and they’re also a staple at parties and picnics.

In this recipe, we’ll show you how to make Chinese Spring Rolls from scratch, using a combination of vegetables, pork, and shrimp.

Ingredients:

• 8-10 spring roll wrappers
• 1 cup finely chopped vegetables (such as cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms)
• 1/2 lb ground pork or shrimp
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp rice vinegar
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the chopped vegetables, ground pork or shrimp, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
2. Place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface and spoon 1-2 tbsp of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Roll up the wrapper tightly, sealing the edges with a little bit of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Cooking:

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan or wok over medium-high heat.
2. When the oil is hot, add the spring rolls to the pan in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
3. Remove the spring rolls from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips and Tricks:

• If you don’t have spring roll wrappers, you can use egg roll wrappers or wonton wrappers instead.
• You can also use store-bought dipping sauce, or make your own by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a little bit of sugar.
• To keep the spring rolls warm, you can place them in a preheated 200°F (90°C) oven until ready to serve.

Variants:

• You can also bake the spring rolls instead of frying them, for a healthier option. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• You can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as chopped scallions, garlic, ginger, or peanuts.
