Answer 1

Cha Gio(Vietnamese Spring Rolls)
recipe from orientalfood.com

Ingredients


2 Oz Cellophane Noodles
1 Lb Ground Lean Pork
1 Lg Onion
2 Tbsp Tree Ears Dried Mushroon (Nam Meo)
3 Cloves Garlic -- finely chopped
8 Oz Crab Meat
4 Oz Shrimp -- shelled and chopped
1/2 Tsp Pepper
20 Sheets Dried Rice Paper (Banh Trang)
4 Eggs -- beaten
2 C Peanut Oil


Preparation


Soak noodles in warm water for 20 minutes and cut into 1-inch lengths.
Soak Tree Ear in warm water for 30 minutes, drain and finely chop.
Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Cut a round rice paper sheet into quarters. Place the cut rice paper
on a flat surface. With a pastry brush, paint beaten egg over the
entire surface of the rice paper piece.
Before filling, wait for the egg mixture to take effect, softening the
wrappers; this take about 2 minutes. When
you become adept at this, you can work on several wrappers at a time.
When the wrapper looks soft and transparent, place about one teaspoon
of filling near the curved side, in the shape of a rectangle. Fold the
side over to enclose the filling and continue to roll. After filling
all the wrappers, pour the oil into a large frying pan, put the spring
rolls into
the cold oil, turn the heat to moderate, and fry for 20 to 30 minutes
until a lovely golden brown. (This is a special method of keeping
spring rolls crisp.)
Conclusion
NOTES: The Vietnamese spring rolls are much smaller and more crisp
than the Chinese version. Unlike the Chinese spring rolls, they can be
rolled in the morning, then covered and refrigerated for several hours
before cooking. After cooking they will keep nice and crisp in
150-degree oven for up to 3 hours. You can substitute shrimp and
crabmeat with more ground pork or chicken if you do not like seafood.
