Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, finely chopped carrot, finely chopped onion, drained and finely chopped water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped bamboo shoots, minced garlic, fresh ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
2
For enhanced flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes or even overnight if preferred, to allow the flavors to meld.
3
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
4
Lay out about 10 spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. Take a portion of the meat mixture and shape it into a log about the thickness of your finger, and roughly the same length as the wrapper.
5
Position the meat log on the bottom third of the wrapper, fold the sides over the filling, and roll tightly towards the top. Brush a bit of beaten egg on the top edge of the wrapper to seal it shut. Repeat until all the filling is used.
6
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Pair with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
