How to Make Cabbage Free Cambodian Egg Rolls

  1. Remove egg roll wrappers from the freezer and let them thaw completely for at least 1 hour.
  2. Fill a medium bowl with lukewarm water and add 4 ounces (113g) of vermicelli mung bean noodles. Let them soak until softened (about 5-10 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, combine 2-3 pounds (907-1361g) ground pork, 1 pound (454g) ground shrimp, 4 medium carrots (finely shredded; about 2 cups), 1/2 medium onion (finely chopped), 1 tablespoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 heaping tablespoon (15g) sugar.
  4. Separate 3 large eggs, adding the yolks to a small bowl and the egg whites to the meat mixture.
  5. Drain the softened mung bean noodles and add them to the meat mixture.
  6. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  7. Beat the egg yolks in the small bowl until light and frothy.
  8. Lay out an egg roll wrapper. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
  9. Follow the instructions on the egg roll wrapper package to roll the egg rolls tightly, sealing the edges.
  10. To seal the final edge, brush a little beaten egg yolk along the last fold.
  11. Repeat steps 8-10 until all the filling is used.
  12. Heat approximately 3 cups (709ml) of vegetable oil in a small pot or deep fryer to 350°F (177°C). The oil is ready when a small pinch of filling sizzles immediately upon contact.
  13. Carefully add a few egg rolls to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
  14. Fry for approximately 8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your egg rolls.
  15. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  16. Serve immediately and enjoy!
