Steps
- 1
Prepare the filling: Soak the glass noodles and cut them into small pieces. Soak the wood ear mushrooms and chop them finely. Finely chop 1/2 carrot and 1/2 kohlrabi, and slice green onions. Add the ground pork and egg. Season with salt, chicken bouillon powder, MSG, and pepper to taste.
- 2
Mix the filling well and let it sit for a while to absorb the flavors.
- 3
To wrap the rolls: Cut 1/2 tomato and rub it over the rice paper to soften it. Let it sit briefly, then place 1 tablespoon of filling on the wrapper and roll it up (do not roll too tightly).
- 4
Continue until all the filling is used. To prevent sticking, place a layer of plastic wrap between layers of rolls. You can fry and wrap at the same time.
- 5
Pour oil into a pan and heat until very hot. Add the rolls and fry until the outside is lightly golden, then lower the heat to cook the filling through.
- 6
For extra crispiness, fry the rolls twice. First, fry until just cooked, then remove and drain. Once cooled, fry them again briefly.
- 7
The finished rolls, after being fried twice, are golden and crispy.
- 8
To make the dipping sauce (not pictured): Crush 3 garlic cloves, 1 chili pepper, a little sugar, and a little MSG in a mortar. Add water, lime juice, and fish sauce, mixing to a slightly mild taste. Thinly slice 1/2 carrot and 1/2 kohlrabi, soak in a bowl of vinegar and salt for 15 minutes, then add to the dipping sauce.
- 9
Serve the rolls with rice vermicelli and fresh herbs, or with steamed rice.
