Joann Lai
"These egg rolls freeze really well, so go ahead and make a double batch. Add shredded cabbage or julienned taro for a different twist. Add minced crab to make it even more flavorful."

- Combine vermicelli, shiitake, pork, shrimp, carrot, shallot, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss well to break up pork and and evenly distribute filling ingredients.
- Lay 1 egg roll wrapper diagonally on a flat surface. Spread a scant 2 tablespoons of filling across the center of the wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling, then fold in side corners to enclose filling. Brush egg on top corner of wrapper and continue rolling to seal. Make additional egg rolls in same manner.
- 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.
- Fry egg rolls until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels or paper bags.

The rice noodles were soggy and the flavor was bland. It was missing something I'm just not sure what.. I will continue to find a better recipe

I use italian sausage instead of pork for a little extra flavor. Decent recipe. I'm gonna try an air fryer next time, though, to see if they turn out as well without all the extra oil.
