2 tsp sesame seed oil

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and line a large baking sheet with the vegetable oil.
Cook the cabbage, carrot, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, and ground pork in a large skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes, until the pork reaches 160 F.
Stir in 2 teaspoons soy sauce, sesame oil, and three sliced spring onions, then cool the filling for 5 minutes.
Dip one rice paper sheet in water for 5 seconds, place filling in the center, and fold it into a parcel.
