Jerk as a Symbol
Jerk seasoning, though in a spring roll, still carries the cultural weight of Jamaican resilience and ingenuity.
Premium Feature
The dominant flavors are a spicy and smoky jerk seasoning combined with the sweetness of mango and a smoky, spicy chipotle pepper note.
The spring rolls feature a filling of shredded chicken or pork marinated in a classic Jamaican jerk blend, including scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, thyme, garlic, ginger, and other spices. This creates a complex flavor profile that is both spicy and savory. The chipotle mango dipping sauce balances the heat with sweetness and smokiness. Fresh mango provides sweetness, while chipotle peppers add a smoky depth and a touch of heat. A squeeze of lime adds acidity to cut through the richness.
Premium Feature
Jerk Marinade
Marinate the chicken or pork for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Spring Roll Assembly
Don't overfill the spring rolls to prevent them from bursting during frying. Ensure the wrappers are properly sealed with a little water.
Frying Temperature
Maintain a consistent oil temperature (around 350°F/175°C) when frying the spring rolls for a crispy, golden-brown finish.
Chipotle Intensity
Adjust the amount of chipotle pepper in the sauce to control the level of spiciness. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
