  Prepare Ingredients and Make Spring Roll Filling

  Wash the pork and then finely chop it.

  Next, wash the bean sprouts thoroughly and squeeze out the excess water.

  After peeling and washing, julienne the carrots and onions. Chop the green onions finely.

  Then, soak the wood ear mushrooms in warm water for 15 minutes until they soften, rinse, and chop them finely.

  Quickly blanch the vermicelli in boiling water until soft, then cut into small pieces with scissors.

  After preparing all the ingredients, put them into a large bowl, then add 2 egg yolks, 2 spoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, and mix well. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste. Marinate for 15 minutes to allow the filling to absorb the flavors.

  Roll the spring rolls

  You lay 1 rice paper sheet on the cutting board, then use a clean towel dipped in water to lightly wipe the surface of the rice paper to soften it for easier rolling. Next, you add another 1/2 rice paper sheet in the middle to prevent tearing when rolling.

  You use a spoon to scoop an amount of filling about the size of 3 fingers and spread it at the top of the rice paper. Then roll tightly for 2 turns and stop to fold the two ends of the rice paper. After folding, continue rolling until the rice paper is finished.

  At the end of the rice paper, you brush egg white to create stickiness. After that, roll the spring roll into a nice shape.

  Repeat the above steps until the filling is finished.

  Fry the spring rolls

  You place the pan on the stove and turn on the high heat to heat the pan. After the pan is hot, you pour in enough oil to submerge the spring rolls.

  Tip: You should use a deep frying pan to help save oil while ensuring that the spring rolls fry evenly and crispy.

  Wait until the oil is gently boiling, then drop each spring roll in and reduce the heat. After about 3 minutes of frying, turn the spring rolls over and continue frying for another 3 minutes.

  When the spring rolls are evenly golden on all sides, use chopsticks to take them out and let them drain on paper towels. At this point, you can divide the portion to put in the refrigerator for later consumption.

  Tip: For the meal, you can put the spring rolls in an air fryer at 200 degrees Celsius for 6 minutes if frying immediately after the previous step. If taken from the refrigerator, set the time for 7 minutes.

  Make the dipping sauce

  Add fish sauce, sugar, and water in a ratio of 1:1:3 into a pot, then place it on the stove to boil until the sugar dissolves.

  Peeled garlic should be minced. Remove the stems from the chili, discard the seeds, and then mince them. For coriander, pick out any wilted leaves, bruise them, wash them clean, and chop them finely.

  When ready to eat, simply add 2 teaspoons of lime juice, minced garlic, chili, and coriander into the fish sauce and sugar mixture that has been boiled, then stir well with a spoon to finish.
