Instructions
1. Heat oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. 2. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with black pepper. 3. Add the shredded carrots, bean sprouts, and Chinese chives to the pork. 4. Stir-fry until the vegetables are slightly wilted but still have a crunch. Remove from heat and let the filling cool. 5. Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. 6. Spoon about two tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom third of the wrapper. 7. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling, then fold in the two side corners. 8. Roll tightly towards the top corner. Moisten the edge of the final corner with a bit of water to seal. 9. Heat a few inches of oil in a deep pan or wok to about 350°F (175°C). 10. Carefully place the spring rolls into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. 11. Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. 12. Remove the spring rolls from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack. 13. Serve hot.
