Pork and vegetable spring rolls❤️❤️
-Hence the name, spring rolls are typically consumed during the Spring Festival. The gold rolls stand in for gold bars, which indicate affluence.
Ingredients:
65g dried vermicelli noodles
1 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra, to deep fry
250g pork mince
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 carrot, peeled, coarsely grated
100g shiitake mushrooms, stalk removed, finely chopped
2 tsp cornflour
1 tbsp cold water
2 tbsp Lee K*m Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
18 frozen spring roll wrappers, thawed
Lee K*m Kee Sweet & Sour Sauce, to serve
Thinly sliced green shallots, to serve
Directions:
-Soak the noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes or until softened. Drain and refresh under cold water, squeezing out any excess moisture. Cut into lengths. Set aside.
-Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add pork. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until browned. Add garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add carrot, mushrooms and noodles. Stir to combine. Combine cornflour and water in a bowl until smooth. Add oyster sauce, soy sauce and half the cornflour mixture. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until combined and liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
-Place 1 spring roll wrapper, with a corner closest to you, on a clean bench. Place 2 heaped tablespoons pork mixture in the centre. Fold in the sides, then fold over the bottom corner. Roll up from bottom to top to enclose filling and form a log. Spread a little remaining cornflour mixture over top corner. Roll to seal. Repeat to make 18 spring rolls.
-Add oil to a large deep saucepan to reach a depth of 10cm. Heat to 180C on a cook’s thermometer over medium-high heat. Deep-fry spring rolls, in 3 batches, for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with shallot and serve with sweet and sour sauce.
