Nem ran/ Hanoi Spring Rolls
Ingredients
- 200g minced pork
- 200g crab, minced
- 200g shrimp, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 6 dried tree-ear mushrooms, soaked in water for 30 minutes, julienned
- handful of kohlrabi or carrots, grated finely
- handful transparent noodles, soaked for 20 minutes in hot water or until they feel supple
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- pepper and salt (to taste)
- 20 dried round rice papers, 20 cm in diameter
- 1 egg white
Directions
In a large bowl mix the minced pork, crab, shrimp, onion, garlic, mushroom, kohlrabi, and the transparent noodles. Season to taste with fish sauce, sugar, pepper and salt. Knead all this with your hands until all ingredients are well-mixed.
Fill a bowl with warm water and soak a sheet of rice paper in it for 30 seconds, or until it is soft. Put the sheet on a work surface, preferably a porous one, such as wood. Alternatively, you can put it on a damp towel.
Take 2 tablespoons of the filling and put it on the rice paper. Roll up the rice paper, fold the ends inward and stick them together with a little egg white.
In a wok, heat 1 litre of vegetable oil to a temperature of 175 C. Fry the spring rolls for 5 minutes (or until they are golden brown) on both sides.
Serve with lettuce, soya bean sprouts, and fresh herbs, and a bowl of nouc cham.
