Spring Roll Ingredients
- Rice noodles for 2 servings
- 5 cabbage leaves
- 200g fresh bean sprouts
- 1 can of pineapple chunks
- 20 rice paper wrappers
- 5 imitation crab sticks
- 10 perilla leaves (kkaennip)
- 200g thinly sliced pork for stir-fry
- 4 Tbsp peanut sauce
- 4 Tbsp Vietnamese dipping sauce
- 8 Tbsp pork rib marinade
- 4 fresh eggs
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, take the 200g of thinly sliced pork for stir-fry and marinate it in 8 tablespoons of pork rib marinade for about 10 minutes. This step helps the pork become tender and flavorful.
Step 2
Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the marinated pork. Stir-fry over high heat, breaking up any clumps, until fully cooked. Keep the freshly stir-fried pork warm.
Step 3
Wash the 200g of fresh bean sprouts and 10 perilla leaves thoroughly under running water and drain them well. Fresh vegetables will enhance the overall flavor of your spring rolls.
Step 4
Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, remove the chalazae (the white, stringy bits), and whisk them well. Lightly oil a non-stick pan and cook over low heat to create thin omelets (jidan). Once cooled, slice the omelets into thin strips.
Step 5
Prepare the rice noodles for 2 servings according to package instructions. Typically, soak them in lukewarm water for about 15 minutes, then boil in hot water for 2-3 minutes. After boiling, rinse them in cold water to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Prepare the dipping sauces for your spring rolls. You can start with 4 tablespoons of the sweet and sour Vietnamese dipping sauce. Feel free to add other sauces like chili sauce or peanut sauce according to your preference. Offering a variety of sauces will make the meal more exciting.
Step 7
Don’t forget the rich and creamy peanut sauce (4 Tbsp) that adds a delightful depth of flavor! You can use a store-bought version or make your own. It pairs wonderfully with the savory stir-fried pork.
Step 8
Arrange all the prepared ingredients (shredded cabbage, bean sprouts, pineapple, imitation crab sticks, perilla leaves, omelet strips, rice noodles, and stir-fried pork) attractively on plates. Have a bowl of warm water and the rice paper wrappers ready. Dip a wrapper in the warm water until pliable, then fill it with your desired ingredients and roll it up tightly. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauces! These colorful and delicious spring rolls are perfect for a delightful meal.
