Pork Spring Rolls
"Great finger food for a gathering. Serve with sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce. I have found that if you want to make them the day before, they will soften up, just pop them in a medium heat oven for about 20 minutes and they will be nice and crispy. To make this easy, chop all ingredients in a food processor."

YUMMY! I made these with ground turkey instead of pork (for personal dietary reasons) but they turned out great. I used the dipping sauce from Recipe #274113 and they were a spectacular combination! I did find out one thing the hard way, though-- if you assemble these too far before cooking them, the juices drain out into a puddle. I would recommend cooking right after assembling. Once cooked, they kept quite nicely in a 250 F oven, where they stayed warm and crisp until serving time. Made for ZWT4 Zingo! Thanks, Sarah!
