How to Make Vietnamese Spring Rolls

  1. Cook vermicelli rice noodles according to package directions. Rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground pork (or chicken), cooked vermicelli noodles, shredded carrots, chopped lettuce, fresh mint leaves, fresh cilantro, and bean sprouts. Add cooked shrimp if using.
  3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for a few seconds until softened. Lay the wrapper flat on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
  4. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the pork mixture onto the center of the wrapper, forming a sausage shape.
  5. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then tightly roll the spring roll away from you, tucking in the edges as you roll.
  6. Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  8. Carefully fry the spring rolls in batches, turning frequently, until golden brown and crispy (about 5-7 minutes per batch).
  9. Remove spring rolls from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite spring roll dipping sauce. Keep warm in a low oven (170°F/77°C) if needed.
