Pork and shiitake spring rolls
“Making spring rolls with my family is a Lunar New Year tradition passed down from Popo, my Indonesian grandmother. Her recipe always used kecap manis for its deeply savoury umami flavour and hint of caramel sweetness. The golden, crispy rolls resemble gold bars, symbolising wealth and prosperity for the year to come. If making in advance, freeze uncooked rolls in a single layer to prevent sticking. Cook for 6-7 minutes from frozen, until golden.” – Lara Lee
