Spring roll

What can I say, this is one of his favorite food. Every now and then, HE would ask me to make this dish for him. When he asked me to make it yesterday, I have got no prawns, no sesame oil and some other ingredients.

So I've used whatever I can find from his fridge to make him this before he comes back from work.

Ingredients:
1. Mince pork (1/4 of 500g)
2. half a carrot
3. 2 mushrooms
4. 2 cloves of garlic
5. light soya sauce (~1 tablespoon)
6. sugar (1/2 tablespoon)
7. salt and pepper to taste
8. spring roll pastry

Steps:
1. Chop the carrot and mushroom into pieces and mix them with mince pork. Do the same for garlic as well. Marinate the mixture with soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper.
2. Instead of deep frying the spring rolls, I've used oven to grill the rolls. No oils = less fat! So, to I've fry the mixture first before rolling them with the spring roll pastry.
3. Heat the frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil, and stir fry the minced garlic. Once the garlic start to burn, pour in the meat mixture and continue to fry. Turn off the fire, when the mince meat is no longer pinkish color. The result should look like this.

4. Let it cool before wrapping it with the pastry.
5. I've used this spring roll skin(bought one from china town)
6. After wrapping...


7. Heat up the oven to about 180C before placing wrapped spring roll inside. When the oven is ready, grill the rolls for about 10-15 minutes for each side. It should be ready when it looks brownish.

Haha...this is what we had for our dinner with a plate of fried bee hoon.
