JAPANESE SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Mix the pork, soy sauce, pepper, sugar, sake, egg, sesame oil, cabbage and green onions in a bowl.
• Refrigerate for one hour.
• Take a wrapper and prepare according to instructions (mine require soaking for 20 seconds) until soft and pliable.
• Take a bit of pork and roll it into a ball, about the size of a golf ball or just slightly smaller.
• Put it in the centre of the wrapper and fold the wrapper around until the pork is covered and you have a neat little parcel.
• It may flatten out into little patties as you fold the wrapping around the pork.
• Continue until all the wrappers are filled.
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan.
• Fry the spring rolls until they are brown and crispy on both sides.
• Serve immediately, with some soy sauce mixed with chilli oil for dipping in.
