Steps:
- Soak the dried mung bean noodles in warm water (submerge them completely) for 30 minutes. Drain thoroughly, and cut into ¼ inch pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the noodles, ground pork, grated carrot, chopped wood ear mushrooms, shallots, garlic, ginger egg white, fish sauce, vegetable oil, salt, white pepper, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Mix until everything is uniformly combined.
- In a large, shallow bowl or deep plate, dissolve the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar in 1 cup warm water. Sugar is optional but does help the spring rolls to brown when frying.
- To wrap each roll, place a rice paper wrapper into the sugar water for about 5-10 seconds, making sure it is completely submerged. Remove it from the water. It will still be quite firm, but it will soften quickly!
- Place about 40g of filling in a log shape on one side of the wrapper. Begin tightly folding the wrapper over the filling (no air bubbles!), and roll the spring roll forward 1 complete revolution. Lightly press down on each end of the filling to flatten the rice paper and push the filling together to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Fold one side of the wrapper towards the middle of the spring roll. Repeat with the other side. Roll the spring roll forward while tucking in the front to prevent air pockets. The rice paper wrapper will stick to itself. It doesn't require anything additional to seal. Place the rolls on a plate or sheet pan lined with a clean, dry kitchen towel or parchment paper.
- Once wrapped, transfer the spring rolls to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, so they can dry out and firm up. This step helps minimize the wrapper bubbling when frying (though bubbling is normal). Take them out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before frying.
- Heat about 3 cups of canola or vegetable oil in a medium pot to 335°F/170°C (the oil level should be a little over halfway up the sides). Fry the spring rolls in small batches-about three at a time. Make sure they do not touch just after they are placed in the oil as the skins will be sticky until a crust forms. Cook each batch for 5 to 6 minutes, or until light golden brown. (Frying them in small batches prevents them from sticking to each other.)
- Use a metal slotted spoon to pull them out of the oil. Drain on a rack, and continue frying. Maintain the correct oil temperature by periodically adjusting your heat.
- When ready to serve, refry the spring rolls (yes, they need to be fried twice) at 350°F/175°C for 1 ½ to 2 minutes to make them nice and crispy. Double-frying is important! Serve with fresh lettuce, cilantro, Thai basil, mint and nuoc cham for dipping.

VIETNAMESE SPRING ROLLS (CHA GIO)
These tiny spring rolls are deep fried until crisp and brown or, if you prefer, cook them by steaming for 10 minutes. Either method produces delightful hors d'oeuvres.

Steps:
- Soak mushrooms and cellophane noodles (in a separate bowl) in warm water for 30 minutes.
- MAKE DIPPING SAUCE: Combine all ingredients in a bowl, add 3 Tablespoons water and refrigerate. If you like it hot add 4-5 paper-thin rings of fresh habanero or scotch bonnet chili to the sauce.
- MAKE THE FILLING: Drain mushrooms and noodles thoroughly. Chop mushrooms finely and cut noodles into 1 inch lengths. In a bowl combine with the pork, garlic, onion, carrot, eggs, salt and pepper.
- Brush rice paper rounds generously with water to soften. Cut in quarters with scissors. Place 1 teaspoon filling on curved end of each quarter. Fold curved edge over fill, fold in sides and continue rolling, sealing the finished roll with more water, if necessary. Repeat until all the filling has been used.
- Heat oil in wok or large fry pan to 375°F Fry rolls a few at a time until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towel and serve with sauce for dipping.
- The cooked rolls may be frozen. Re-heat frozen rolls in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes before serving.
- Welcome to Our World.
