Instructions

Step 1

Soak bean thread noodles and wood ear mushroom in warm/hot water for 5 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Cut with scissors.

Step 2

In a bowl, add ground pork, bean thread noodles, wood ear mushroom, shallot, carrots, chicken bouillon powder, sugar, white pepper and eggs. Mix thoroughly to combine. Tip - if you want to taste the filling, microwave 1 tsp for about 45 seconds to cook it, then taste and adjust. Don’t over-season because they will be dipped in the Vietnamese fish sauce. (I shared a recipe recently)

Step 3

Peel the egg roll wrappers, then fold in one corner. Add 1.5 tbsp of filling then fold in the 2 sides, then roll down the center. Seal with the flour/water mixture.

Step 4

Heat up your oil and make sure it is hot before adding the egg rolls. Cook for about 8 minutes then move to a cooling rack. Re-heat the oil so that is gets hot again, then add in the egg rolls and do a double fry. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 5

Enjoy wrapped in lettuce, with a vermicelli bowl or just dipped in sauce.
