  • canola oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 pound pork belly or butt, diced
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 pound shrimps, peeled, deveined, and chopped
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and julienned
  • 1 cup green beans, stemmed and cut thinly on a bias
  • 4 cups bean sprouts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 pieces spring roll wrappers

Instruction

  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until limp. 
  • Add diced pork and cook until lightly browned. 
  • Add fish sauce and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Add water and bring to boil. Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 7 to 10 minutes or until pork is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  • Add shrimps and cook, stirring occasionally, just until color changes to pink. 
  • Add carrots and green beans. Cook, stirring regularly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are halfway done. 
  • Add beans sprouts and cook, gently tossing to combine, for about 30 to 40 seconds or just until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Immediately remove the vegetable mixture from heat and drain in a colander. Cover with film and refrigerate for a few minutes to completely cool.
  • Separate wrappers into individual sheets. On a flat working surface, lay wrapper like a diamond. 
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the vegetable mixture on the middle of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom pointed end of the wrapper over the filling. Fold side ends of the sheet inward and roll tightly into a log. Wet the pointed edge of the wrapper with a dab of water to completely seal. Repeat with the remaining vegetable mixture.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 2 inches deep of oil to 350 F. Add spring rolls seam side down and fry, turning once or twice, for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from pan and drain on a wire rack. Serve immediately with spiced vinegar dip.
