For these delightful egg rolls, you’ll need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of rice paper wrappers
- 1 pound ground pork (or chicken for a lighter option)
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 cup bean vermicelli noodles, soaked and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- First things first, soak the bean vermicelli noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes until they soften. Drain and chop them into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, grated carrots, shredded cabbage, chopped noodles, minced garlic, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Now, take a rice paper wrapper and soak it in warm water for about 10-15 seconds, just until it’s pliable. Place it on a clean surface.
- Put a spoonful of the meat mixture onto the wrapper, fold in the sides, and roll it up tightly like you’re wrapping a burrito.
- Repeat this process until you’ve used up all the filling. Make sure to keep your wrapped egg rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the egg rolls, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy every bite of these crispy, flavorful bites!
