BAKED PORK SPRING ROLLS 
1/2 pound ground pork
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1/4 cup finely shredded carrot
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon chile sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 (16 ounce) package spring roll wrappers
4 teaspoons vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Place pork in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove from heat and drain.

In a medium bowl, mix together pork, cabbage, carrot, green onions, cilantro, sesame oil, oyster sauce, ginger, garlic and chile sauce.

Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the center of spring roll wrappers. Roll wrappers around the mixture, folding edges inward to close.

Moisten fingers in the cornstarch and water mixture, and brush wrapper seams to seal.

Arrange spring rolls in a single layer on a medium baking sheet. Brush with vegetable oil.

Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, until hot and lightly browned. For crispier spring rolls, turn after 10 minutes.

Makes 12 spring rolls.

Hello Janette. I have been searching for ages for a recipe for a "New Zealand" Spring Roll and 'eureka'!! finally found one!! When I came to NZ over 50 years ago I used to buy these for my lunch. Found them delicious too!! The ones you get in the Asian take-away bars now are awful - so greasy and not easy on the tum-tum!! Just one question Janette, can you, after making them, freeze them?? I could possibly stuff 2 down my gullet but if my wife was to make a dozen we would have to do something with the others!? Thanking you for your time, regards, Tony Lawson.

I make similar egg rolls (lumpia, spring rolls, whatever) and I've frozen them both before and after cooking, with excellent results. Suggest that you freeze them on a cookie tray, then when completely frozen move them into airless freezer bags (vacuum system best, e.g. FoodSaver vacuum/seal). To heat and serve cooked spring rolls at a later date, I put frozen rolls back on cookie sheets, reheat in a very hot oven, and they turn out great!
