Wrapping

Sweet & Sour Sauce

Method

Preparing the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Pork

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to break up the meat.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the pork is cooking, peel and chop the taro and carrot into small, thin pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the pork is cooked, remove excess grease. Add taro, carrot, onion, garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened. Remove from heat and let cool.

Wrapping the Egg Rolls

  1. 4

    Prepare Rice Paper

    Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it becomes soft and pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill and Roll

    Place the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the lower third of the wrapper. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom up.

  3. 6

    Repeat

    Repeat the process for the remaining wrappers and filling.

Frying the Egg Rolls

  1. 7

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  2. 8

    Fry the Rolls

    Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil, seam side down. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.

  3. 9

    Drain

    Remove the egg rolls from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparing Sweet & Sour Sauce

  1. 10

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
