Vietnamese Pork Spring Rolls Recipe

Spicy garlic-sriracha marinated pork strips with crunchy matchstick carrots and thin-sliced radishes make the perfect combination for these homemade spring rolls.

If you’re used to “spring rolls,” meaning a deep-fried shell full of vaguely mushy vegetables, you’re in for a pleasant surprise from this recipe: the Paleo version doesn’t need deep-frying because it has actual flavor to make it interesting!

You’ll need a batch of your own homemade sriracha to make the marinade for the pork: the store-bought stuff is full of all kinds of junk. The good news is that it’s not difficult; you can find the recipe here.

Add some coconut aminos to stand in for soy sauce (you can get these at health-food stores or online), and you’ve got a 100% Paleo flavor punch.

You could serve these spring rolls as a side for any Asian-inspired dish (orange chicken maybe, if you’re missing your takeout classics?), but they would also work just fine with some simple grilled meat or another main protein – why not get a little creative and see what you can come up with?
