• 400g pork mince
• 1 carrot, very finely diced
• 1 onion and 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 spring onions
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 30 spring roll wrappers
• oil for frying
• sweet chilli sauce

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Mix the pork with the vegetables, egg, soy and plenty of pepper.
2. Fry a teaspoon of the mix to taste it for seasoning before you roll thirty of them.
3. Lay a wrapper as a diamond, put a thin line of filling near the bottom corner — much less than you think — and roll tightly, folding the sides in.
4. Seal the final corner with water. Lumpiang Shanghai should be thin and pencil-like, not fat.
5. Fry at 170°C for 4–5 min until deep gold and cooked through.
6. Cut on the diagonal and serve with sweet chilli. They freeze raw beautifully.
