Ah, you wanna watch something good, eh? Something that touch the heart, make you feel… you know… *things*? Then you gotta see this movie, “Once.” It’s small, but so powerful, like tiny little chili padi, pack a punch!

Okay, okay, imagine this: two people, both struggling, both with music in their soul. They meet, they make music together, and… well, you gotta watch and see what happens, lah! But first, let’s look at that poster. Simple, but tells you everything.

Movie poster for Once (2006)While watching “Once,” you need something to munch on, right? Something easy, something comforting. So, I’m gonna share my family’s secret recipe for… okay, not *secret* secret, but really good Spring Rolls. These not just any Spring Rolls, these Spring Rolls are gonna make you wanna sing, just like the movie!

Spring Roll Ingredients:

  • 1 package (about 20-25) spring roll wrappers (the thin rice paper kind!)
  • 1/2 pound ground pork (or chicken, or shrimp, or tofu - your choice, lah!)
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup bean sprouts (optional, but adds nice crunch!)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Sweet chili sauce, for dipping (essential!)

Instructions for Spring Roll Perfection:

  1. First things first, gotta prepare the filling, okay? In a wok (or a big frying pan, also can), heat up a little bit of vegetable oil. Then, brown the ground pork (or your chosen protein). Make sure it’s cooked all the way through, ya? No one wants uncooked pork in their spring roll!
  2. Next, add in the cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, and garlic. Stir-fry them for a few minutes until they start to soften. You don’t want them too soggy, just a little bit soft-soft.
  3. Now, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. Mix everything together really well. Taste it! Does it need more soy sauce? A little bit of chili flakes for extra kick? You decide, lah! This is *your* spring roll filling.
  4. Take the filling off the heat and let it cool down a little bit. Too hot to handle is not good!
  5. Now comes the tricky part: rolling the spring rolls. Get a bowl of warm water. Dip one spring roll wrapper in the water for a few seconds, just until it’s soft and pliable. Don’t leave it in too long, or it’ll turn into mush!
  6. Lay the softened wrapper on a flat surface (like a cutting board). Place a small amount of the filling (about a tablespoon) in the center of the wrapper.
  7. Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then fold the bottom edge up and over the filling. Roll it up tightly, like you’re wrapping a little present. Make sure it’s sealed tight, otherwise the filling will come out when you fry it!
  8. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Don’t get discouraged if the first few look a little bit wonky. Practice makes perfect, okay?
  9. Heat up a good amount of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot. Make sure the oil is hot enough - about 350°F (175°C).
  10. Carefully drop the spring rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time. Don’t overcrowd the pot! Fry them until they’re golden brown and crispy all over. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  11. Remove the spring rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  12. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy! These spring rolls are so sedap (delicious), you might even cry a little bit. But don’t worry, that’s normal. Just like watching “Once.”

So, there you have it. “Once” and homemade spring rolls. The perfect combination for a quiet night in. Go, enjoy your movie and your food! And remember, sometimes the simplest things in life are the best. Like a good movie, good food, and good company. Even if that company is just yourself. Okay, ah? Bye-bye!
