Recipe Introduction
These are not as much work as they seem, once you get a system down. Many people request me to make these. Our neighbors usually help eat the whole batch, but then again we never can make just one batch.
List of Ingredients
1- package (40 count) “Spring Home” TYJ Spring Roll Pastries
1- 10.5 oz. Package “Lunkow Vermicelli” Bean Thread Noodles
3-3½ lbs. Ground Pork
6 Large carrots, shredded
3 bunches green onions, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or mashed
4 T. Sugar
2 T. Salt
1 T. Black Pepper
2 t. MSG (optional)
1 T. Asian Tapioca Starch
5 T. waterRecipe
Step 1: Mix Tapioca Starch with water in microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute to thicken. Remove, stir, and set aside to cool. (Don’t do this too much beforehand, but early enough to allow a few minutes to cool so you can work with it with your bare hands.)
Step 2: Place noodles in a large, heat resistant bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow noodles to soak in water for 4 minutes, then drain water. Cut up noodles in same bowl with kitchen scissors. Using hands, break up pork into bowl and mix thoroughly with noodles. Add and thoroughly mix: carrots, onions, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper. Also add optional MSG, shredded cabbage and fungus mushrooms.
Step 3: Roll mix into spring roll firmly, eliminating as many air pockets as possible. Apply a coat of starch paste to the inner side of the final inch or two of roll to seal and hold roll closed. Deep fry in enough corn oil so that roll floats while cooking, at 450 degrees, for approximately 8 minutes, turning once at approximately 4 minutes.
Step 4: Remove, lightly grasping with tongs at one end to allow excess oil to drain back into pan. Place on a cooling rack over a raised-edged cooking sheet to continue draining. Once cooled enough to handle stack rolls “teepee” style, to get rid of as much oil as possible.
Makes approx. 32, 1½ x 5” rolls.
Oh, and don’t forget to nab a bottle of Sweet and Sour sauce from Rainbow Foods! It’s good with them!
* Well, at least Paul thinks they should be famous!
