🥢 Dim Sum Spring Rolls
Dim sum spring rolls are thin wheat wrappers rolled tightly around a filling of seasoned minced pork, shredded cabbage, carrot and mushroom, then deep-fried until golden. The shell shatters when bitten and the filling stays juicy and savory. They are served hot in small portions of three or four rolls as part of a dim sum spread.

Recipe
Ingredients
- 200 g minced pork
- 200 g cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 100 g mushrooms, sliced
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- Oil for frying
- Salt and white pepper
Method
- Stir-fry the pork with garlic and ginger until cooked through.
- Add cabbage, carrot and mushrooms, cook until just soft, season and cool completely.
- Place 2 tbsp filling on each wrapper, fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water.
- Deep-fry at 175 °C for 3–4 minutes until golden, then drain on paper.
- Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
How to make it lighter
- Brush the rolls with a little oil and bake at 200 °C or air-fry instead of deep-frying.
- Use lean minced pork and add more cabbage and mushroom to the filling.
- Pair one or two rolls with steamed dim sum rather than ordering several fried dishes.
History
Spring rolls take their name from snacks once associated with the Spring Festival in China, and fried versions became a standard item on Cantonese dim sum menus. They are now found in Chinese restaurants around the world.
