Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced red onions
- ½ cup diced dill pickles
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil or canola oil for frying
- Ketchup or preferred dipping sauce for serving
Instructions
- Meat Preparation: Brown ground beef in a skillet until fully cooked, removing excess fat. Cool the meat slightly to facilitate handling.
- Filling Creation: Combine cooled beef with cheddar cheese, red onions, and dill pickles in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Wrapping Technique: Place spring roll wrapper on a flat surface, positioning beef mixture in the center. Fold wrapper carefully, enclosing filling completely and sealing edges with water to prevent leakage.
- Oil Heating: Fill a deep frying pan with oil, heating to an optimal temperature where a test piece sizzles instantly. Maintain consistent heat for perfect frying.
- Frying Process: Submerge spring rolls in hot oil in small batches, rotating to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration and crispy exterior. Monitor oil temperature to ensure even cooking.
- Finishing Touch: Remove spring rolls with a slotted spoon, draining excess oil on paper towels. Plate and serve with ketchup or preferred dipping sauce for enhanced flavor profile.
Notes
- Meat Precision: Brown ground beef completely to eliminate raw spots and drain excess fat for a cleaner, safer filling.
- Filling Balance: Mix ingredients thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly, ensuring each bite delivers consistent taste.
- Wrapper Technique: Seal edges carefully with water to prevent filling leakage during frying, creating a tight, intact spring roll.
- Oil Temperature Control: Maintain consistent oil heat around 350-375°F for crispy exterior and prevent greasy absorption, using a thermometer for accuracy.
