The secret to successfully making spring rolls at home is to finely chop all the ingredients into uniform sizes. Having the ingredients all approximately the same size, will enable the egg rolls to cook quickly and evenly throughout the center. Although some egg roll and spring roll recipes will call for raw meat to be used in the filling, this recipe requires the meat to be precooked to make sure it is thoroughly done.
Spring roll and egg roll wrappers can be found in the fresh produce section of most grocery stores. This recipe makes approximately 24 spring rolls. Hoisin sauce can be found in the ethnic food section of grocery stores, usually on the same aisle as soy sauce.
