Directions
-
Heat vegetable or peanut oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
-
Add minced pork and brown thoroughly, breaking up any clumps.
-
Add minced garlic, ginger, bamboo shoots, black mushrooms, and shredded cabbage to the wok.
-
Stir-fry the mixture for 2-3 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
-
Pour in half of the rice wine or sherry, light soy sauce, and sesame oil; toss to combine.
-
Add boiling chicken broth to the wok.
-
Cover and simmer for 30 seconds to meld flavors.
-
In a small bowl, mix salt, white pepper, cornstarch, oyster sauce, and dark soy sauce until smooth.
-
Pour the sauce mixture into the wok, stirring constantly to thicken slightly.
-
Remove the wok from heat and let the filling cool completely before assembling.
-
Place a spring roll skin on a clean surface; spoon a small amount of cooled filling onto the center.
-
Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
-
Seal the edge with a mixture of beaten egg or water to prevent leaking.
-
Heat oil for deep frying to 365&# 194;°F (185ðC).
-
Carefully add spring rolls to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove rolls and drain on paper towels before serving.

Note
Ensure the filling is completely cool before rolling to prevent the skins from becoming soggy or tearing.
If you cannot find black mushrooms, you can substitute with rehydrated wood ear mushrooms or additional shiitake mushrooms for a similar texture.
For a vegetarian version, omit the pork and use a mixture of tofu, bean sprouts, and extra vegetables. Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth and oyster sauce with vegetarian stir-fry sauce.
Maintain oil temperature carefully; if it's too hot, the rolls will burn before the inside is heated; if too cool, they will absorb too much oil and become greasy.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
