Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thai Spring Rolls (Po Piah).
Step 1
Begin by soaking mung bean noodles in warm water for approximately 30 minutes until they become tender.
Step 2
Once softened, chop the noodles into 1/2-inch pieces.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine ground pork, bean sprouts, chopped cabbage, the prepared mung bean noodles, an egg, light soy sauce, sugar, and a dash of white pepper.
Step 4
Blend all the ingredients thoroughly to create a flavorful filling.
Step 5
Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until it releases its aromatic fragrance.
Step 6
Next, introduce the pork mixture to the skillet and stir-fry until the pork is fully cooked and the filling is slightly dry, which should take around three minutes.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional soy sauce, sugar, or pepper as desired, then set the filling aside to cool.
Step 8
To prepare the spring rolls, mix a tablespoon of flour with a small amount of water to form a sticky paste.
Step 9
On a clean surface, place a spring roll wrapper with one corner facing you.
Step 10
Spoon a scant teaspoon of the cooled filling just below the center of the wrapper.
Step 11
Fold the corner closest to you over the filling and roll it halfway.
Step 12
Next, fold in the left and right sides to create an envelope shape, then continue rolling tightly and seal the top corner with the flour paste.
Step 13
Keep any unused wrappers and finished rolls covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.
Step 14
In a heavy pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-low heat.
Step 15
Fry the spring rolls in batches until they achieve a golden brown color and are cooked through, which should take about five minutes.
Step 16
Once done, drain them on paper towels and serve immediately for a delightful treat that’s sure to impress.

Enjoy the crispy, savory goodness of homemade spring rolls, perfect for sharing with friends and family!.
