Pork and Prawn Spring rolls
Pork & Prawn Spring rolls
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice wine
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 tsp corn-starch
- 500 g pork mince
- 1/2 cup raw prawn meat chopped fine
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 stalk green onions chopped
- 1/2 head of small cabbage shredded fine
- 2 carrots finely julienne cut
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp corn-starch
- 1/4 cup water
- 20 spring roll wrappers defrosted
- Oil for deep frying about ½ litre to 1 litre
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the soy sauce, corn-starch, rice wine, pepper. Add the pork mince and mix well. Let marinate for 10 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge.)
- Heat large wok or deep fry pan over high heat. Add 1 tsp oil and stir fry the pork mince until browned and cooked. Add the raw prawn meat and cook till prawns cooked, then set aside in a bowl.
- Clean out pan, add oil and cook garlic, spring onion and ginger for 30 secs. Add julienne carrot & cabbage. Cook till carrot is soft. Add the mince back into the veg and then add 2 tbsp oyster sauce, mix to combine then put onto a tray to cool completely. Make a slurry out of the corn- starch and water (glue to stick the spring roll together).
- Keep spring roll wrappers covered with a damp cloth to stop them drying out. Take one wrapper at a time and put 2 tbsp of filling in the middle and wrap up the roll and use the slurry to seal the ends, then put on a tray sealed side down. Heat oil in a wok or deep pan to 180 C, slide in the spring rolls a few at a time in the oil to fry. Turn the rolls occasionally to brown evenly and fry for about 3 minutes. Let cool on a rack. Repeat with the remaining.
