Po Piah (Thai Spring Rolls) image

This is my favorite snack of all times. It's a little bit time consuming to make, but I usually make a big batch and freeze them. They can be deep-fried frozen. Serve them with spring roll sauce or sweet chile sauce and Thai ajad, pickled cucumber salad.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (2 ounce) package mung bean noodles
½ cup ground pork
1 ¼ cups bean sprouts
1 cup finely chopped cabbage
1 egg
2 tablespoons light soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) package small spring roll wrappers
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Cover mung bean noodles with warm water and soak until soft, about 30 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Combine pork, bean sprouts, cabbage, mung bean noodles, egg, light soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pork mixture and stir-fry until pork is cooked through and looks somewhat dry, about 3 minutes. Add more soy sauce, sugar, or pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon flour with some water to make a sticky paste for sealing the spring rolls.
  • Lay 1 spring roll wrapper on a flat work surface with one of the corners facing you. Place a scant teaspoon of the cooled filling right below the middle of the wrap. Fold the corner facing you over the filling. Roll the filling up about a half turn. Fold the left and right sides in to create an envelope shape. Finish rolling up the spring roll tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of the flour paste. Store unused wrappers and finished spring rolls under a moistened kitchen towel, to prevent them from drying out.
  • Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-low heat. Fry spring rolls in batches until cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

These spring rolls were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed these spring rolls. The tofu was a great substitute for the meat.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my spring rolls turned out soggy. Maybe I didn't fry them long enough?

These spring rolls were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of spring rolls, but I really enjoyed these. The filling was flavorful and the rice paper wrappers were crispy.

The spring rolls were delicious, but the dipping sauce was a bit too spicy for me. Next time I'll try making it with less chili peppers.

These spring rolls were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good.
