Description

Delicious spring rolls made with savory pork and tangy sauerkraut, perfect for sharing with loved ones.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground or shredded pork (shoulder recommended)
  • 1 cup sauerkraut
  • 10 rice paper wrappers
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (cilantro or green onion), chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, add sesame oil. Sauté minced garlic and ginger until fragrant. Stir in ground pork, cooking until browned. Add sauerkraut, soy sauce, and herbs; mix well and let cool.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper for about 10 seconds until soft and pliable. Lay flat on a work surface.
  3. Fill and Roll: Spoon pork and sauerkraut mixture onto the bottom third of the wrapper, fold sides over and roll tightly from the bottom.
  4. Fry to Perfection: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place spring rolls seam-side down and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  5. Drain and Serve: Transfer cooked rolls onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve with a dipping sauce like tangy mustard or sweet chili sauce.

Notes

Work in batches while frying to avoid overcrowding. Monitor oil temperature for best results.
