Description
Crispy, golden-brown, and filled with a savory mixture of pork and vegetables, these homemade spring rolls are a world away from the store-bought variety. They are a popular appetizer in many Asian cuisines, and for good reason. The contrast between the shatteringly crisp wrapper and the warm, flavorful filling is irresistible. This recipe guides you through making a classic filling and the technique for wrapping the rolls tightly to ensure they don’t fall apart during frying. Served hot with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping, they are a perfect starter for a party or a delicious snack any time. While this version uses ground pork, they can easily be made vegetarian.
A Taste of History
Spring rolls are believed to have originated in China during the Jin Dynasty. They were originally made as a seasonal food consumed during the spring, filled with the new season's fresh spring vegetables. The tradition of eating spring rolls during the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) continues to this day, as their golden, cylindrical shape is thought to resemble gold bars, symbolizing wealth and prosperity for the coming year.
