Chinese spring rolls are a delightful appetizer or snack enjoyed worldwide. These crispy, cylindrical delights are typically filled with a mixture of vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms, along with sometimes incorporating proteins like shrimp, chicken, or tofu.
Ingredients:
8-10 sheets of flour paper (“Spring roll paper”)
1 egg (to close the rolls)

4 dehydrated shiitake mushrooms
25 grams of chives

2. To prepare the filling, put vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the garlic and ginger over high heat. When it starts to smell good, add the Shiitake mushrooms and sauté for another minute. Add the spring onion and sauté for another minute, lower the heat and add the minced pork.
3. When the pork is cooked, add carrot and cabbage, soy noodles and to give the Asian flavor, add light soy sauce, sugar, white pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes. Put in a bowl and let cool completely.
