Chinese Spring Rolls

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
6 ounces Lean Pork (or Ham or Roast Pork)
4 ounces Shrimp, shredded
1/2 Cabbage or Bean Sprouts
2 ounces Spring Onion, shredded
20 pieces Spring Roll Wrappers
6 cups Vegetable Oil
1/2 tablespoon Soy Sauce to marinate pork
1 teaspoon Cornstarch to marinate pork
1/4 teaspoon Salt to marinate shrimp
1 teaspoon Cornstarch to marinate shrimp
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Sour Stock
1 tablespoon Cornstarch to make paste
1 tablespoon Cold Water to make paste
1 tablespoon Flour
 
   
Preparation:  
   
Cut pork into string shapes, marinate with soy sauce and cornstarch. Shred cabbage into string shapes about 1 1/2 inch long.

Heat 5 tablespoons oil in fry pan, stir fry pork about 1/2 minute, drain and put aside. Use same oil to fry shrimp until well done. Remove to bowl with pork. Add the shredded cabbage to fry pan, stir fry a moment, add soy sauce, salt and soup stock, cover with lid and cook about 2 minutes. Then add pork and shrimp, salt and spring onions, stir fry about 1/2 minute over high heat, stir in cornstarch paste until thickened and remove to another bowl.

Brush outer edge of skin roll with flour paste (to 1 tablespoon flour, add 1 1/2 tablespoon water). Place 2 tablespoon filling on the spring roll skin, about 1 inch from the edge that is toward you, roll once or twice, then fold right side toward center, then left side toward center, continue rolling into a tight roll.

Place side with edge showing face down to hold shape until time for frying. Fry in oil in hot pan about 10 rolls at a time. Using high heat, fry about 3 minutes until golden brown. Serve with soy sauce and brown vinegar.
