- 1 lb ground pork or ground chicken, turkey, beef or minced shrimp
- 2 cups carrots peeled and grated
- 5.64 oz mung bean noodles dried kind
- 2 cups cabbage grated
- ¾ cup onion grated or finely chopped
- 4 Shiitake mushrooms or wood ear mushrooms, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
Spring roll glue:
- 1.5 tablespoon all purpose flour or cornstarch

Dipping sauce (for 25 rolls)
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- ⅓ cup fish sauce
- 1 bulb garlic minced

Instructions
Assemble Egg Rolls:
- Prepare carrots, cabbage and onion by grating them with a box grater on a cutting board or using a food processor to shred or chop them.
- In a large bowl, soak mung bean noodles in hot boiling water for 50 seconds until softened and clear. Strain immediately shaking out as much excess water. Transfer to a large bowl. Cut the noodles into smaller pieces with clean kitchen scissors.
- Add ground pork, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, onions, eggs, salt, black pepper and sugar to the noodles. With clean hands, mix well. Set aside. Optional: Take about 1 tablespoon and pan fry or microwave for 40 seconds until cooked to taste test it. If needed, adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, black pepper or sugar.
- In a separate small bowl, combine all-purpose flour and cold water. This will be your egg roll “glue”.
- Gently peel away one single spring roll wrapper and place onto a clean flat surface in a Diamond position. Fold the bottom corner ⅓ of the way up. Fill the wrapper with 3 levelled tablespoons of filling on the folded corner and shape filling into a log. Fold the side corners over the filling. Lightly brush a bit of the flour water mixture on the top corner. Tightly roll the egg roll upwards. Repeat this process for remaining filling. Place egg rolls on parchment paper. Note: Keep spring roll wrappers moist by covering with a damp paper towel and only remove one at a time when you're ready to fill.
Deep Fry Egg Rolls (or to Air Fry see Notes section below):
- In a wok, deep fryer or large skillet on medium heat, add 2-3 cups of oil. Once oil is hot or at 350 F degrees, gently lower 3-4 egg rolls away from you. Fry in small batches. Do not overcrowd.
- Deep fry for 3 minutes, turning over at the halfway point. Transfer fried egg rolls onto a wired rack set on top of a baking sheet so excess oil can drip off.
Make Dipping Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine water, sugar and fish sauce. Mix until sugar has dissolved. Mix in minced red chilies and garlic. Serve with egg rolls!
To Freeze Leftovers
- For any uncooked leftover egg rolls, place them in a single layer into a freezer bag into the freezer section of your refrigerator. They will last up to 2 months or before freezer burn starts to show. These can be deep fried, air fried or re-heated in your toaster oven from frozen.

Notes
- Lightly spray air fryer basket with neutral oil. Place egg rolls in a single layer, do not overlap. Ensure there is enough air flow around each one. You may need to air fry in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
