Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground pork or ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (vegetable, canola)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 3.5 ounces (100g) glass noodles (bean thread vermicelli)
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce if not strictly GF)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 18–20 sheets round rice paper wrappers (8.5-inch diameter)
- Additional neutral oil for brushing
Instructions
- Prep Filling: Cook glass noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and chop into 2-3 inch pieces. Grate ginger and mince garlic. Shred cabbage and carrots if not pre-shredded.
- Cook Meat & Veggies: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up. Drain excess fat. Add ginger and garlic; sauté 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in cabbage and carrots; cook 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Combine & Cool: Remove from heat. Add chopped glass noodles, gluten-free tamari, sesame oil, and beaten egg to the skillet. Mix thoroughly. Let the filling cool completely before proceeding.
- Assemble Spring Rolls: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 15-20 seconds until pliable. Lay flat on a damp surface. Place 2-3 tablespoons of cooled filling near the bottom edge. Fold the bottom edge over, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly into a cylinder. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Bake: Arrange assembled spring rolls in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush tops and sides with neutral oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Let cool slightly before serving.
