As much as I love to cook and bake, there are still a number of things that intimidate me in the kitchen! Spring rolls are one of them, they just look so darn hard to make and I honestly had no idea where to start, but I was up for the challenge! As a Blue Dragon Mom, I was sent a few products to try out and the scary err… intriguing Spring Roll Wrappers were among them, I was excited and nervous, but ready to tackle them head on!
We are carnivores around here, so I knew I wanted to make spring rolls with meat. As it turns out, these are the perfect way to use up leftover pulled pork!
- 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
- 1½ cups shredded pork
- ¼ cup finely shredded carrot
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp grated fresh ginger root
- 1½ tsp minced garlic
- ½ Tbs Blue Dragon fish sauce
- 1 tsp Blue Dragon sesame oil
- 8-12 Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers
- 1 Tbs water
- 1 Tbs cornstarch
- 4 tsp vegetable oil
- Blue Dragon Sweet Chilli Heat Sauce for dipping
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, sesame oil, fish sauce, ginger, garlic.
- Mix cornstarch and water in a separate small bowl.
- Per packaging instructions, place wrapper into hot water until soft and pliable (this only takes a few seconds).
- Remove wrapper and place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of spring roll wrappers. Roll wrappers around the mixture, folding edges inward to close. Moisten fingers in the cornstarch and water mixture, and dab on wrapper seams to seal.
- Arrange spring rolls in a single layer on a medium baking sheet. Brush with vegetable oil on both sides. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, until hot and lightly browned. Turn once halfway through.
- serve with Sweet Chilli Heat Sauce on the side for dipping
I was pretty impressed with myself! It was a fun dinner for Hubs and I to create together over a glass of wine and the spring rolls turned out really well and tasted great! I really liked that this recipe is baked in the oven and not fried, it goes nicely with our plan to eat better without sacrificing taste!

Those look really good! Definitely need to have some kind of meat in them. (We’re carnivores around here, too.)
Wow! They look delicious. I absolutely LOVE spring rolls but I’ve never made them at home. I had the Blue Dragon Beef and Broccoli sauce last night in my stir fry – delicious!
They don’t look as ‘pretty’ maybe baked, but they tasted great!
These sound delicious! I would have never have thought to use pork, I’m going to give these a try.
I would not have a clue how to make spring rolls, but they are a favorite of mine. The Blue Dragon sauces just make them all the more tasty 🙂 This does look like a recipe I, I mean my hubby can try out ; -)
haha cute!
Your spring rolls really look tasty. I like that they are baked too.
These look so yummy! I love spring rolls but have never attempted them myself, maybe I should!
These spring rolls look so sublime.I love ordering them when we go for Chinese food but have never made them myself.They look so yummy it would be worth the effort.Thank you 🙂
Baking the spring rolls is such a good idea! I love them but don’t order them very often since they’re deep fried but these I could eat more often.
These look mouth-watering! I would add some extra hot sauce – I like things spicy. Yum!
Baked???? I have to try this! I love spring rolls……and I also love a reason to use cabbage 🙂
Yum Yum Yum My family would devour these! Thanks for the recipe!
I love the fact that it is not deep fried! Definitely a must try!
I would love to try this, especially at a Christmas party!
I love spring rolls, veggie, pork or chicken
Since the giveaway is long over, I hope It is ok for me to comment on this intriguing dish. It sounds like something my family would love. I just have to find the Blue Dragon ingredients at our local supermarkets. Thank you for this giveaway.
