How to Make

  • Step 1: For the sweet chili sauce; in a glass bowl mix all ingredients until well blended and chill until ready to use.

  • Step 2: For the spring rolls; in a bowl stir together the chopped shrimp, 1 egg, ground pork, chestnuts, bamboo shoots, garlic, onions, ginger and soy sauce; mix well and season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3: Place about 1 semi-heaping tablespoon down the center of each spring roll wrapper.

  • Step 4: Fold the top corner of the wrapper over the filling (tucking the tip of the corner under the filling). Fold the left and right corners over filling. Lightly brush the remaining corner with the remaining egg. Tightly roll the filled end toward remaining corner then press gently to seal.

  • Step 5: Repeat using all the mixture and spring roll wrappers.

  • Step 6: In a medium heavy saucepan, pour about 2-inches of oil.

  • Step 7: Heat the oil to 350 degrees.

  • Step 8: Carefully drop a few spring rolls in at a time and fry until golden (about 6 minutes) turning to brown and cook on all sides (don't fry more than 5-6 spring rolls at a time). Place on paper towels to drain.

  • Step 9: Serve with prepared chilled sweet chili sauce.
