  • 1 cup shredded cabbage adds crunch and a nutritious touch
  • 2 green onions finely chopped for a fresh flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, because garlic makes everything better
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce for that umami flavor

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned. Drain any excess fat.

  7. Step 7: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
  8. Step 8: Fry the spring rolls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  10. Step 10: Serve the spring rolls hot with the sesame ponzu sauce for dipping.

Notes

If you have any leftovers, you can store the spring rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven for a few minutes to regain that lovely crunch!
