This is my favorite snack of all times. It's a little bit time consuming to make, but I usually make a big batch and freeze them. They can be deep-fried frozen. Serve them with spring roll sauce or sweet chile sauce and Thai ajad, pickled cucumber salad.

Ingredients

  • mung bean noodles: 1 pack (2 ounce pack)
  • ground pork: 0.5 cup
  • ¼ cups bean sprouts: 1 piece
  • cabbage: 1 cup (finely chopped)
  • egg: 1 piece
  • light soy sauce: 2 Tbsp (to taste)
  • white sugar: 1 tsp (to taste)
  • ground white pepper: 0.25 tsp (to taste)
  • vegetable oil: 1 Tbsp
  • garlic: 4 clove (minced)
  • small spring roll wrappers: 1 pack (16 ounce pack)
  • all-purpose flour: 1 Tbsp
  • water: 2 Tbsp (or as needed)
  • vegetable oil for frying: 2 cups

  1. Cover mung bean noodles with warm water and soak until soft, about 30 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add pork mixture and stir-fry until pork is cooked through and looks somewhat dry, about 3 minutes. Add more soy sauce, sugar, or pepper to taste. Set aside to cool.

  5. Lay 1 spring roll wrapper on a flat work surface with one of the corners facing you. Place a scant teaspoon of the cooled filling right below the middle of the wrap. Fold the corner facing you over the filling. Roll the filling up about a half turn. Fold the left and right sides in to create an envelope shape. Finish rolling up the spring roll tightly, sealing the top corner with a dab of the flour paste. Store unused wrappers and finished spring rolls under a moistened kitchen towel, to prevent them from drying out.

  6. Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-low heat. Fry spring rolls in batches until cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
