Ingredients

200g Smoky Mexican Pulled Pork
1 Carrot (grated)
¼ white cabbage (grated)
2cm Ginger (grated)
2 Spring onions (finely sliced)
100g Salted peanuts (crushed/blitzed)
50g Beansprouts
1tbsp Soy sauce
16 Spring roll wrappers
1tsp Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste
1tbsp Sesame oil
100ml Groundnut oil (for frying)
Handful coriander and basil (finely chopped)

For Dipping Sauce:

30ml Soy sauce
15ml White wine vinegar
1cm Ginger (grated)
1 Clove garlic (grated)

How to make it

In a big bowl, combine the carrot, ginger, peanuts, pulled pork, bean sprouts, cabbage, spring onions (hold a little back for serving), coriander, Gran Luchito Chipotle Paste, sesame oil, soy sauce and pepper.
In lukewarm water, soak each spring roll wrappers for about 30 secs (or until flexible but not mis-shapen). Dry on a kitchen paper and lay on a flat surface.
Add a tbsp of the mixture to the front centre of the wrapper.
Roll from the bottom tucking in the edge. Once about half way up, fold in the sides then continue rolling up keeping it as neat and even as possible. If you prefer summer rolls, serve them like this. If you want crispy spring rolls, continue as below.
Once you’ve rolled them all, heat a frying pan and add the groundnut oil until a small piece of the mixture sizzles when dropped in.
Fry the spring rolls in batches for about 5 mins each making sure to flip them over.
Drain on kitchen paper.
Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
Serve with a sprinkling of spring onions.
