Big Crispy Meat Rolls Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 1 kg ground beef or lamb (you can mix both for flavor)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions or chives, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated (optional for sweetness)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin (optional)
  • 1 egg (to bind the mixture)

For the Wrappers:

  • 25–30 square spring roll wrappers (or use wonton wrappers if smaller)
  • Small bowl of water or 1 egg (for sealing)

For Frying:

  • Vegetable oil for deep frying

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large bowl, mix the ground meat, chopped onions, garlic, parsley, green onions, grated carrot (if using), soy sauce, pepper, salt, paprika, cumin, and the egg.
  • Mix everything thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until well combined.
  • Let the filling rest in the fridge for 30 minutes (optional but recommended).

2. Assemble the Rolls:

  • Lay out a wrapper on a flat surface.
  • Place about 1 tablespoon (or more if larger wrappers) of meat filling in the center of each square.
  • Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly like a mini burrito or egg roll.
  • Dab a little water or egg wash on the edge to seal.
  • Repeat until all filling and wrappers are used.

3. Fry the Rolls:

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 180°C (350°F).
  • Fry the rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 3–5 minutes).
  • Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve hot with a side of sweet chili sauce, garlic yogurt dip, or ketchup.
  • Great for parties, snacks, or as a meal with salad or rice.

Tips:

  • You can freeze the uncooked rolls and fry them later—no need to thaw!
  • Add shredded cabbage or mushrooms to the filling for variety.
  • Make them spicy with chili flakes or hot sauce in the meat mix.
