Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 g Ground pork
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 medium Carrot (julienned)
- 1 small Cucumber (julienned)
- 100 g Rice vermicelli noodles
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (leaves picked)
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint (leaves picked)
- 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce (optional, for dipping)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the ground pork to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well. Remove from heat and let the pork mixture cool slightly.
Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Prepare the work surface by filling a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds, until softened, and place it onto a clean, damp kitchen towel.
In the center of the softened rice paper wrapper, layer a small amount of cooked pork, rice noodles, julienned carrot, julienned cucumber, fresh cilantro, and mint leaves.
Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll the wrapper tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with hoisin sauce for dipping and lime wedges on the side, if desired.
