Crispy Spring Rolls

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.
