Chinese Spring Rolls Deep Fried

Why you'll love this recipe

These are significantly crunchier than store-bought rolls and packed with fresh, hand-sautéed ingredients.
The filling is versatile; you can easily add more vegetables or different proteins depending on what's in your fridge.
They freeze beautifully, making them the perfect "make-ahead" snack for parties or busy weeknights.

Key Ingredients

Ground Pork: Provides a rich, savory base that carries the flavors of the soy and oyster sauce perfectly.
Bean Sprouts: Add a subtle crunch and moisture to the filling, balancing out the density of the meat.
Spring Roll Wrappers: These are thinner than egg roll wrappers, resulting in a much crispier, lighter exterior.

✅Quick Tips: Sauté the pork until very dry; excess moisture in the filling is the #1 cause of spring rolls bursting or becoming soggy.

Key Steps

#1: Let the filling cool until filling is warm before wrapping; warm filling will make the wrapper glue together

#2: Roll the wrappers as tightly as possible to eliminate air pockets, which can trap oil during frying.

#3: Fry at medium-high heat until golden; the filling is already cooked, so you're just perfecting the crust.
