How to prepare pork spring rolls:
Prepare the ingredients:
Process the pork:
Prepare the pork by rubbing it with clean salt, washing it with water, then dipping it in boiling water and immediately removing. There are two ways to process pork: Boiling or roasting
Eating boiled pork:
Afterwards, rinse it with water and continue putting the meat in a pot filled with boiling water to boil thoroughly. You can add a halved onion and a little whole pepper to boil with the meat. Let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.
Once the meat is cooked, take it out and place it in a bowl of ice water, soak for about 2-3 minutes to firm up the meat. This makes it easier to slice and the meat will be more tender.
Eating roasted pork:
You still boil the meat as described above, but to give it color, you can add soy sauce to create a rich hue.
Once the boiled meat is cooked, take it out and place it in a hot frying pan with cooking oil or put it in an oil-free fryer at 200 degrees Celsius to fry the meat slices. When the outer skin of the meat turns golden and crispy, remove it and let it cool before slicing.
Slice the meat into thin pieces along the grain, ensuring there is a balance of lean and fatty parts, uniform in size, and arrange them in layers on a plate.
Processing fish sauce dip:
Heat a little cooking oil, sauté purple onions, and pour fish sauce into a boiling state over low heat. Add sugar, minced pineapple, chili, and minced lemongrass, then simmer until boiling, and turn off the heat. Adjust the seasoning to suit individual tastes.
Savoring the pork spring rolls:
Arrange vegetables, pre-sliced pork, rice paper, and fish sauce dip on the dining table.
Place the rice paper on the layer of pho noodles and gently lift it to allow the pho noodles to adhere to the surface of the rice paper.
Layer thin slices of pork, cucumber, carrots, pineapple, pickled star fruit, various herbs, and roll them into a round rice paper roll.
Dip the rice paper roll in fish sauce dip and enjoy.
