Description

A crispy and flavorful Fried Vietnamese Spring Rolls recipe made with ground beef, vermicelli noodles, mushrooms, and rice paper.


Ingredients

Scale

1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup bean sprouts (optional)
1/4 cup chopped wood ear mushrooms (rehydrated)
1/4 cup chopped vermicelli noodles (glass noodles), soaked and drained
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small shallot, minced
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
20 sheets rice paper
1 egg yolk (for sealing)
Oil for deep frying
Lettuce leaves, mint, cilantro (for garnish and wrapping)
Nuoc cham dipping sauce


Instructions

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, mushrooms, vermicelli noodles, carrots, bean sprouts, garlic, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper.
Mix until well combined.
Fill a shallow bowl with warm water and quickly dip each sheet of rice paper until pliable.
Place on a damp towel or cutting board and add 1 tablespoon of filling near the bottom.
Fold the sides in, then roll up tightly and seal with a dab of egg yolk.
Repeat with the remaining filling and rice paper.
Chill the rolls in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the rolls in batches until golden and crispy, about 4–5 minutes.
Optional: Let cool slightly, then double-fry for extra crispiness.
Drain on paper towels before serving with lettuce, herbs, and dipping sauce.

Notes

Don’t over-soak the rice paper just a quick dip is enough. Chill the rolls before frying to prevent tearing. You can substitute ground beef with a mix of beef and shrimp or use tofu and mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
