Instructions

  1. 1 Soak cellophane noodles and shiitake mushroom in warm water until pliable, about 15 minutes. Drain well. Mince mushroom.
  2. 2 Combine noodles, mushroom, pork, shrimp, carrot, shallot, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl; toss until ingredients are well mixed, evenly distributed, and to break up pork.

Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in side corners to enclose filling. Brush beaten egg on top wrapper corner; continue rolling to seal. Repeat filling and rolling with remaining wrappers, pork filling, and beaten egg.
  4. 4 Heat oil in a deep fryer, wok, or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or until a drop of water jumps on the surface.
