Ingredients

– 1 oz. (28 g) mung bean noodles or cellophane noodles or glass noodles , soaked in hot water for 30 minutes or until soft – 6 oz. (170 g) ground pork – 2 oz. (56 g) shrimp, minced – 1 oz. (28 g) crab meat, coarsely chopped, optional – some shredded carrots – 1 clove garlic, minced – 1 shallot, minced – 3 dashes ground black pepper – 1 teaspoon fish sauce – salt to taste – 1 small egg, lightly beaten (use only half) – Vietnamese rice paper – oil, for deep frying

Step 1

 Chop the soaked mung bean noodles into shorter threads. In a bowl, mix the ingredients together (except Vietnamese rice paper) to form a sticky filling.

Step 2

To roll the Vietnamese spring rolls (cha gio), place a piece of the rice paper on a clean, wet kitchen towel. Dip your fingers in a bowl of warm water and run them all over the entire rice paper to soften it. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling on the moist rice paper, fold the rice paper over the filling, tuck in the sides, then roll to form a cyclinder about 3 inches long.

Step 3

Heat oil over medium heat in a wok or a large frying pan. When the oil is heated, gently put in a few rolls in the oil. Fry them slowly until they turn light brown. Dish out and drain the excess oil by lining them over some paper towels.

Step 4

 Serve immediately with nuoc cham or roll it up with a fresh lettuce leaf and some aromatic herbs and then dip into the nuco cham.
