Preparation
- Cook the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and cut into shorter pieces to make them easier to mix and wrap.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, grated carrots, and sliced cabbage. Stir-fry the mixture until the vegetables are tender and the pork is fully cooked.
- Season the filling with soy sauce, sesame oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Position it so that a corner is facing toward you (like a diamond shape).
- Place a small amount of the filling mixture on the lower part of the wrapper, and top with a small handful of the cooked noodles.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and then continue rolling tightly toward the upper corner. Use a little water or a flour paste (flour mixed with water) to seal the final edge.
- Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat a good amount of peanut or canola oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces such as sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, or a spicy mustard.
