Cooking Tips

• Make sure the filling is well-drained to prevent the spring rolls from becoming soggy.
• You can add additional vegetables like mushrooms or bean sprouts to the filling for extra flavor and texture.
• If you don't have a deep fryer, you can also pan-fry the spring rolls in a shallow pan with enough oil to cover the bottom.
• To make ahead, you can assemble the spring rolls and freeze them. Just thaw before frying.
• Leftover spring rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the Chinese Pork Spring Rolls as an appetizer or as part of a Chinese meal.
• They are best served hot and crispy, so make sure to fry them just before serving.
• You can serve them with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or any other dipping sauce of your choice.
• Leftover spring rolls can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness.
