Ingredients
12 servings
Instructions
- Chop the soaked mung bean noodles into shorter threads. In a bowl, mix the ingredients together (excluding the Vietnamese rice paper) to create a sticky filling.
- To roll the Vietnamese spring rolls (cha gio), place a piece of rice paper on a clean, damp kitchen towel. Dip your fingers in a bowl of warm water and run them over the entire rice paper to soften it. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling onto the moist rice paper, fold the rice paper over the filling, tuck in the sides, and then roll to form a cylinder about 3 inches (7 cm) long.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a wok or large frying pan. Once the oil is hot, gently add a few rolls to the oil. Fry them slowly until they turn light brown. Remove from the oil and drain the excess by placing them on paper towels.
- Serve immediately with nuoc cham, or wrap the spring rolls in a fresh lettuce leaf with some aromatic herbs and dip them into the nuoc cham.
