Ingredients
- 4 rice paper sheets
- 1 cup pork floss
- 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and finely chopping the scallions into thin rings. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce with water to create a light, spreadable sauce. This will help bind the ingredients and add flavor.
- Fill a large, flat dish or wide bowl with warm water for softening the rice paper sheets.
- Dip one rice paper sheet into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable, but not completely dissolved.
- Carefully transfer the softened rice paper onto a clean, flat work surface like a cutting board or clean kitchen towel.
- Spread a thin layer of the hoisin sauce mixture across the center of the rice paper, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edges.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of pork floss evenly over the hoisin sauce layer.
- Distribute chopped scallions over the pork floss, ensuring even coverage.
- Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper up and over the filling, then fold in the side edges.
- Carefully roll the rice paper tightly from the bottom up, creating a neat, compact roll.
- Repeat the process with remaining rice paper sheets and ingredients.
- For best texture, serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel to prevent drying out.
- Optional: Cut rolls diagonally for a more elegant presentation and easier eating.
Tips
- Soak with Care: When soaking the rice paper sheets, make sure to dip them in warm water for just 10-15 seconds. Over-soaking can make them too fragile, while under-soaking can make them difficult to roll.
- Layering for Flavor: Don’t skimp on the hoisin sauce mixture! A generous spread not only adds flavor but also helps bind the pork floss and scallions together for a satisfying bite.
- Chop Scallions Finely: For the best texture and flavor distribution, finely chop the scallions into thin rings. This will ensure that every bite is packed with that fresh, oniony crunch.
- Keep Them Moist: If you’re not serving the rolls immediately, cover them with a damp paper towel to keep them from drying out. This will help maintain their soft texture.
- Presentation Matters: For an elegant touch, cut the rolls diagonally before serving. This not only makes them easier to eat but also showcases the beautiful layers of filling inside.
- Experiment with Fillings: Feel free to get creative! Add other ingredients like shredded carrots, cucumber, or even a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
