There is nothing better than camping or the great outdoors, IMHO that is. We try and get out there a couple of times a month but gone are the days of eating the same old thing. Now i challenge myself to create something different each time we go.

Here i have done a single pan spring roll, now i’m not sure how other people make them but this is how i went about it and they turned out bloody beautiful.

You will need.

600 grams of pork mince slaw mix (available from both Coles and Woolies) ginger garlic Chinese 5 spice mix spring roll papers sweet n sour sauce oil

Start by taking your pork mince and putting it in a mixing bowl add some ginger and garlic about a tea spoon or two of each. A little more if you want a stronger flavour. Next throw in the 3 to 4 tea spoons of the Chinese 5 spice and give it a good old fashioned mix. You might find it easier to use your hands for this part. Cook off your mix, should only take a couple of minutes. Wipe the original bowl out and re add the pork mince. Empty about 3/4 of the slaw mix bag into this and combine.

Next get a bit of oil in the pan and heat it up. Don’t worry about cleaning the pan as it’s adding a little extra flavour. Open up your spring roll paper and peel one sheet off. Putting it down on a chopping board or something similar to roll them up. I do this by using the spring roll paper in a diamond shape. Put a little of the pork/slaw mix in the middle and folder the two outer edges in (left and right edges) then fold up making a nice looking spring roll. Then add to the pan for cooking i like my oil to be at one side as not to get the spring roll all soggy. Just drag it through the oil from time to time.

It doesn’t take very long to cook them off. Being that the mix inside is already cooked so you are just doing the outside really.

Dip them into a little sauce and away you go.

This made enough for 6 of us to have a couple each. They were pretty big and filling. You may need to add to the recipe for more people and hopefully you enjoy them as much as we did.

Let me know if you make some and what you think of them. Or even if you have any other ingredient ideas.
