Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 300 g pork mince
  • 1 white onion, finely sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cabbage, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, finely sliced into 1 inch batons
  • 2 sticks celery, finely sliced into 1 inch batons
  • 100 g shiitake mushrooms, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)

Assembly

  • 16 rice paper wrappers

Serving

  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Place a large frying pan, skillet, or wok over medium-high heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté for a couple of minutes, stirring frequently until they soften.
  2. Cook the pork mince: Add the ground pork to the pan and break it apart with a spatula. Fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pork browns and any liquid evaporates.
  3. Add aromatics and vegetables: After the pork has browned, add minced garlic and ginger. Fry for another minute, then add the carrot, cabbage, and mushrooms. Stir fry these for 2 minutes before adding the celery. Continue to cook for a minute until vegetables are slightly tender but still crunchy.
  4. Season the filling: Pour in the light soy sauce, sesame oil, and oyster sauce. Stir fry everything for 2 more minutes, tasting and adjusting seasoning with additional sauce, salt, or pepper if desired. The filling should be flavorful with crisp vegetables. Transfer the mixture to a large plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes to cool.
  5. Soften the rice paper wrappers: Fill a large plate or bowl with warm water. Dunk a rice paper wrapper into the water, submerging it for a few seconds until soft and slightly sticky. Remove and place on a clean chopping board.
  6. Assemble the rolls: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cooled filling onto the rice paper about 2 inches from the base. After 10-20 seconds when the wrapper is pliable, pinch the base and fold over the filling. Fold in the sides tightly and roll up firmly into a tight cylinder to enclose the filling.
  7. Double wrap the rolls: Wrap each assembled roll in another rice paper wrapper to prevent breaking during air frying. Repeat this process until all rolls are made.
  8. Air fry the rolls: Place the wrapped rice paper rolls in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch. Cook at 200°C (390°F) for 10 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid burning. The rolls should turn golden and crispy.
  9. Serve: Serve the crispy air-fried rice paper rolls hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy as a tasty appetizer or snack!

Notes

  • Ensure the filling is completely cooled before filling the rice papers to prevent tearing.
  • Double-wrapping the rolls with rice paper helps maintain their shape and prevents breaking during air frying.
  • Adjust the cooking time slightly if your air fryer runs hot or if the rolls are exceptionally thick.
  • You can substitute pork mince with chicken or turkey mince as preferred.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and increase the quantity of mushrooms and cabbage.
  • Soak each rice paper wrapper just until pliable; soaking too long may cause it to tear.
