Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams ground chicken or pork
- 50 grams shredded carrots
- 50 grams finely chopped cabbage
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes or Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 20 pieces spring roll wrappers
- 1 piece egg (beaten)
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or pork, shredded carrots, chopped cabbage, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili flakes or Sriracha, and sesame oil to the mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Lay out one spring roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape.
Place 1 tablespoon of the filling near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a cylinder.
Brush the top corner with a little beaten egg to seal the edge. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully place the prepared rolls into the hot oil in batches. Fry for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
Remove the firecrackers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy-based dip.
