Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
Cheese and Vegetables:
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced red onions
- ½ cup diced dill pickles
Wrapper and Cooking Ingredients:
- 12 spring roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil or canola oil for frying
- Ketchup or preferred dipping sauce for serving
Instructions
- Transform ground beef into a savory filling by browning it thoroughly in a skillet, ensuring complete cooking and removing any excess fat. Allow the meat to cool slightly for optimal handling.
- Create a flavor-packed mixture by blending the cooled beef with sharp cheddar cheese, zesty red onions, and tangy dill pickles in a mixing bowl. Stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Position the spring roll wrapper on a clean surface, strategically placing a generous portion of the beef mixture in the center. Carefully fold the wrapper, encasing the filling completely and sealing the edges with a light water wash to prevent any leakage.
- Prepare a deep frying vessel by filling it with oil, heating to an optimal temperature where a test wrapper piece sizzles immediately upon contact. The oil should be hot enough to create a crisp exterior quickly.
- Gently lower the prepared spring rolls into the hot oil, working in small batches to maintain proper oil temperature. Rotate the rolls to ensure uniform golden-brown coloration and a perfectly crisp texture.
- Extract the fried spring rolls using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drip away on absorbent paper towels. Transfer to a serving plate and accompany with classic ketchup or a complementary dipping sauce for an extra flavor dimension.
Notes
- Prep these rolls ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before frying to help them hold their shape and prevent filling from leaking.
- Ground beef must be completely cooled and drained to avoid soggy wrappers and ensure crispy texture during frying.
- Seal spring roll edges carefully with water to prevent filling from spilling out during deep-frying.
- Use medium-high heat for perfect golden-brown color, checking oil temperature with a small wrapper test to avoid burning.
- Drain fried spring rolls on paper towels to remove excess oil and maintain a crispy exterior.
- Serve immediately with classic condiments like ketchup, ranch, or spicy mustard for maximum flavor enjoyment.
