Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/4 cup grated carrots
- 1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon ginger (minced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (or more for extra spice)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Assembly
- 1 package spring roll wrappers (or dumpling wrappers)
For Frying
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
- Assemble the dumpling rolls: Lay a spring roll or dumpling wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place a spoonful of the beef mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent them from opening during frying.
- Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large frying pan or deep fryer, heating it over medium-high heat. You need enough oil to cover at least half of the dumpling rolls to allow for even frying without needing to fully submerge them.
- Fry the dumpling rolls: Carefully place the dumpling rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 4-5 minutes, turning as needed, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the spicy beef dumpling rolls hot, accompanied by your choice of dipping sauces such as soy sauce, extra sriracha, or a sweet chili sauce for additional flavor and heat.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level of the filling.
- Ensure the oil temperature is hot enough before frying to get a crispy exterior and prevent the rolls from absorbing too much oil.
- These dumpling rolls can be prepared ahead and fried just before serving for maximum crispiness.
- If spring roll wrappers are not available, dumpling wrappers can be used but they may be smaller, so adjust the filling amount accordingly.
- Leftover rolls can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to retain crispness instead of microwaving.
