Thai Mini Spring Rolls
Description
These Thai Mini Spring Rolls are the perfect bite-sized appetizer for any gathering. The filling features a savory mixture of ground pork, shrimp, and bean sprouts, wrapped in delicate rice paper and deep-fried until golden and crispy. The combination of textures—crunchy exterior, tender meat, and crisp vegetables—makes each roll a delightful experience. Ideal for parties, potlucks, or as an elegant starter before the main course, these rolls bring authentic Thai flavors to your table.Directions
-
Rehydrate bean thread noodles in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain, rinse, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
-
Rehydrate dried mushrooms and tree ears in warm water, squeeze out excess moisture, and mince finely.
-
In a large bowl, combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, prepared noodles, minced mushrooms, minced tree ears, grated carrot, bean sprouts, chopped shallots, minced garlic, and minced coriander roots.
-
Add fish sauce, sugar, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Heat peanut oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
-
Dip one rice paper round into warm water for a few seconds until pliable, then lay it flat on a clean, damp cloth.
-
Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of the rice paper.
-
Fold the bottom edge over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a mini spring roll. Seal the edge with a little water.
-
Repeat with remaining rice paper and filling, working in batches to prevent drying out.
-
Carefully place the rolls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
-
Serve immediately on crisp lettuce leaves, garnished with fresh mint leaves.
