What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Combine ground pork, chopped shrimp, carrots, cabbage, scallions, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl to prepare the filling.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mixture and sauté until the pork is fully cooked through with no pink remaining, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Let the filling cool slightly before assembling.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk fish sauce, water, raw honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili flakes to make the dipping sauce.
  5. Soak each organic rice paper sheet in warm water for 5–10 seconds until pliable.
  6. Place a softened sheet on a clean surface and position 2 tablespoons of the cooked filling in the lower center.
  7. Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly upward to seal.
  8. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

FAQ

Can I substitute the avocado oil with another oil?

Yes, you can use unrefined coconut oil or olive oil as cleaner alternatives to avocado oil.

Is raw honey a permitted ingredient in clean eating?

No, for very strict clean-eaters, raw honey may be controversial due to potential impurities. Maple syrup or pureed dates are preferable.
