½ lb. Ground pork
2 Tbs. Minced yellow onion
½ tsp. Minced garlic
1 Carrot, shredded

¼ lb. Bean sprouts
½ oz. Fresh mint leaves, Chiffinade
2 Cucumbers, peeled and julienne.

½ Tbs. Brown sugar
½” piece of ginger, juice only
1 tsp. Fresh chopped Coriander leaves

Method:

For the dipping sauce add all the ingredients in a bowl and combine well. Taste for seasoning. Set aside while making the spring rolls. For the spring rolls heat a medium saute pan on a medium high heat and cook the pork until about half way done, at this point add the onions and garlic and cook until the pork is cooked through. Take a spring roll wrapper and set it on your work area with a point facing you. Put all ingredients together in a small bowl and combine well. Take a small amount of the mixture and place in the center of the spring roll wrapper and fold to the shape of a triangle. Seal with egg wash. Next take the end to the right and fold to the center of the wrap. Seal with egg wash. Do the same with the left side and seal. Finish the remaining wrappers and into a wok or a deep soup or sauce pan heat about 2-3 cups of peanut oil and deep fry the spring rolls. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
