Spring Roll Recipe, less

It's my daughter's graduation and they have a class party the day after the ceremony.  She wanted me to cook adobo but I asked her if anybody is bringing rice. Nobody is bringing rice and there is like a group of students who are in charge of finger food and she is one of them. I am deciding between meatballs and spring roll. My daughter loves meatball but she also loves spring roll. I decided to just cook spring roll instead. 

It's so hard for me to cook regular food. I don't use processed ingredients as much as I can. I always use organic and natural product and/or different procedure just to try to keep it yummy, simple, and most important of all, healthy. In this recipe I tried using ground pork with the minimum fat I can find in the market, along with the organic onions, organic carrots. I used sea salt. It's best if you have that sea salt and pepper grinder. As I always say, regular ones are ok =) I hoped my daughters classmates and parents will enjoy our potluck contribution meal and they did. So glad they did!

Spring Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground pork
• 1 cup carrots, minced or shredded
• 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
• 1 medium onion, minced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 cups canola oil for deep frying, (as for me, second healthiest to olive oil)
• Spring roll wrappers
• 2 teaspoons sea salt, iodized salt is fine
• pepper to taste

Cooking Procedure

1. Heat a pan to medium heat and pour the ground pork after 5 minutes. Put on low heat
2. Put-in the ginger and cook for a few seconds.
3. Add the onion. Cook until tender.
4. Sprinkle the garlic
5. Cover. Cook until the color turns medium brown.
6. Add carrots, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn off heat.
7. Let the temperature cool down while allowing excess oil and liquid to drip.
8. Scoop cooked mixture and arrange in spring roll wrappers.
9. Heat cooking oil in a deep cooking pot with the canola oil. Deep fry the spring rolls in medium heat until the color turns light to medium brown.
10. Remove from the cooking pot and place in a plate lined with paper towels (this will absorb excess oil).
11. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce

Share and enjoy! =)
