Ingredients:

– 1 lb ground pork
– 1 cup shredded cabbage
– 1 cup shredded carrots
– 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fish sauce
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 package of spring roll wrappers
– Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground pork until cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.

2. Add the shredded cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, and minced garlic to the skillet with the pork. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

3. Season the mixture with fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

4. To assemble the spring rolls, place a spring roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape, with one tip pointing towards you. Spoon a generous amount of the pork mixture onto the bottom third of the wrapper.

5. Fold the bottom tip of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides towards the center. Roll up the wrapper tightly towards the top tip, sealing the edge with a bit of water.

6. In a deep pot or skillet, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (180°C) for frying. Carefully add the spring rolls a few at a time, seam side down, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. Once cooked, remove the spring rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the frying process with the remaining spring rolls.

8. Serve the Vietnamese Fried Pork Spring Rolls hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or nuoc cham. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness of these delicious spring rolls!
