Spring Rolls with Ground Pork
The secret to making spring rolls is prep all the ingredients ahead and then you simply assemble. The Spring Rolls with Ground Pork video shows you how (subscribe to the Parent Club Youtube channel!)
And here’s the printable recipe for you…
Spring Rolls with Ground Pork
- 1 package ground pork
- 1 package rice noodles
- 1 package rice paper
- 1 cucumber sliced into sticks
- 1 carrot sliced into sticks
- Hoisin sauce
- Optional: red pepper thinly sliced
- Brown ground pork over medium heat until completely browned (3-5 minutes)
- Prepare rice noodles according to package instructions.
- Prepare rice paper according to package instructions.
- TIP for rice noodles and rice paper:
- Boil kettle. Put rice noodles in pot. Pour 3/4 of the hot water over noodles. Put lid on pot. Do not remove lid for 3 minutes. Next, pour remaining hot water into a clear (cold) frying pan. Drain noodles after 3 minutes. To soften rice paper as you make these Spring Rolls – gently submerged a sheet of rice paper into the warm water in the frying pan – leave for 15-20 seconds. This will soften the rice paper.
- On a plate (or platter) place a soften rice paper.
- Towards the bottom of the rice paper (the end closest to you) place one spoonful* of rice noodles.
- Next, layer on one spoonful of ground pork.
- Layer on Hoisin sauce (about 3 big drops)
- Next, layer on sliced cucumbers and sliced carrots.
- To roll:
- Fold the bottom end up.
- Fold the left and right side in.
- Then continue to roll upwards.
- Place seam side down.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
- *spoonful = not too much/not too little

I love how light these look while still having the filling protein of pork! I think I might make these instead of dumplings this weekend!
I needed a dinner idea! This is exactly what I was looking for! I am going to get the ingredients!
These look like a fun meal idea and are definitely a great way to change things up. I bet the ground pork is extra flavorful too!
Mmmm! These look SO mouth-watering! I think this would be a great meal for this weekend! Thanks so much!
I love spring rolls, but I’ve never made them! Your recipe looks easy enough! I’m going to have to give them a try!
Yum! My kids and I would have a blast making these together. Just have to help them be gentle with the rice paper first.
These look so delicious and easy to make. I will have to try making these on the weekend. My family will love them.
I have never made my own spring rolls before. This recipe looks delicious. I will have to make some this week.
What a great dinner idea. I can see serving this with some brown rice. I’m not sure if my kids would go for it but I’d sure love it.
Neat. Iv’e never made my own spring rolls. These look tasty.
My husband loves spring rolls! He would gobble these up!
I love spring rolls and adding pork to them is a brilliant idea, I will have to try to make these and get the kiddos on to them. I have a picky eater who I am trying to introduce to new foods. He is 7 but has been increasing his “likes” the last year!
I have some Spring roll wrappers on hand. I am thinking I am going to try something fun with them too!
These look so cute! I’m a huge fan of spring rolls – but have never made myself! Thanks for this easy recipe!
This looks so simple we can’t wait to try it!
This sounds so good and easy to make. I would love it for dinner tonight!
These look delicious! I’ve never tried making spring rolls before so I’m looking forward to making these. Thanks for sharing.
I just happen to have most of the ingredients on hand. I’m always looking for recipes to broaden my kids pallets (I get tired of the same old recipes). Finger foods are a great way to get the kids interested in trying something new (I know most people would use a knife and fork for spring rolls but I’m willing to make an exception in my house to get the kids on board with new foods and flavours). Thanks for sharing this recipe. I’m definitely going to try it out.
I love spring rolls but I never thought of making my own,looks yummy !
