Ingredients

  • 4 dried Chinese mushrooms

  • 30 ml/2 tbsp groundnut (peanut) oil

  • 225 g/8 oz pork fillet, minced (ground)

  • 50 g/2 oz peeled prawns, chopped

  • 15 ml/1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 30 ml/2 tbsp water

  • 8 spring roll wrappers

  • 100 g/4 oz/1 cup corn-flour (cornstarch)

Method:

  1. Soak the mushrooms in warm water for 30 minutes then drain. Discard the stalks and finely chop the caps.

  2. Heat the oil and fry the mushrooms, pork, prawns and soy sauce for 2 minutes. Blend the corn-flour and water to a paste and stir into the mixture to make the filling.

  3. Cut the wrappers into strips, place a little filling on the end of each one and roll up into triangles, sealing with a little flour and water mixture.

  4. Dust generously with corn-flour. Heat the oil and deep-fry the triangles until crisp and golden brown. Drain well before serving.
