Spring Rolls

One of my students from the Philippines made these last year and they were to die for! Here's his family recipe. You will have to convert kg to pounds...

Filling
1/4 kg ground pork
1/8 kg shrimp, chopped (optional)
1/4 c finely chopped carrot

1/4 c finely chopped parsely
1 garlic clove minced
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 T chopped white onions
1 T soy sauce
1 t sugar
1/2 t salt
1 pinch pepper

Sweet and Sour Sauce
1 t cornstarch
2/3 c water (or substitute pineapple juice)
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c apple cider vinegar (plain vinegar works also)
