Ingredients

Filling:

  • ½ lb (225 g) ground pork
  • ½ lb (225 g) shrimp, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup rehydrated shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • ½ cup spring onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ inch ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

Wrapper and Sealing:

  • 14 spring roll wrappers (10-inch size)
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1½ tbsp water

Cooking Options:

  • Oil for frying (or spray oil for air-frying/baking)

Instructions

. Prepare the Filling

  1. Marinate the Pork: Combine ground pork, cornstarch, soy sauce, white pepper, and a pinch of sugar in a bowl. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Cook Pork and Shrimp:
    • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add marinated pork and cook until browned.
    • Stir in shrimp and cook until just opaque. Set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables:
    • In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant.
    • Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and spring onions.
    • Stir in oyster sauce and cook until tender yet crisp. Combine with the cooked pork and shrimp mixture.

2. Make the Slurry for Sealing

  • Mix flour and water into a smooth paste. Use this to seal the spring rolls.

3. Assemble the Spring Rolls

  1. Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface, with a corner facing you like a diamond.
  2. Place 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner.
  3. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
  4. Seal the edge with the slurry. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
