In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, cook the chicken and pork, stirring frequently, until browned and broken into smaller pieces, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the carrots, all but 1 Tbs. of the green onions, the cabbage, ginger, garlic, peanuts, the 1/2 tsp. salt and the soy sauce. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Spread the mixture out onto a baking sheet and cool for 10 minutes.

In a heavy deep-fry pan, pour in the oil and heat to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Fry the spring rolls, a few at a time, until brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve the sauce alongside
