5 Steps to Make Cashew Spring Rolls

  1. Soak the wood ear mushrooms in warm water. Once they expand and soften, rinse them well and finely chop them.
  2. Mix all the filling ingredients together, including cashews, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, taro, minced pork, fresh shrimp, and minced shallots. Season with pepper, seasoning powder, and fish sauce to taste.
  3. Place a spring roll wrapper flat on a tray or clean surface. Add a moderate amount of filling to about one-third of the wrapper. Fold in both sides, then roll it tightly into a spring roll.
  4. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot, reduce the heat slightly. Add the spring rolls and deep-fry until golden brown and crispy. Tip: Place the fried spring rolls on oil-absorbing paper to reduce excess oil and make the dish lighter.
  5. Cashew spring rolls can be served with chili sauce, ketchup, or Vietnamese-style fish sauce dip. They are especially delicious when eaten with rice or fresh herbs.
