1

Soak the vermicelli noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes until soft, then drain and chop into small pieces.

2

In a pan, sauté minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until fragrant, around 1 minute.

3

Add the minced pork and shrimp to the pan, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are fully cooked.

4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pork and shrimp, chopped vermicelli, grated carrot, soaked black fungus, and beaten egg.

5

Season with fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.

6

Soften the rice paper by dipping it into warm water for a few seconds until pliable.

7

Place a small amount of the filling mixture in the center of the rice paper and fold the edges tightly to create a roll.

8

Repeat this process with the remaining filling and rice paper.

9

Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the spring rolls into the oil.

10

Fry for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.

11

Once cooked, remove the spring rolls and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

12

Serve hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
