Recipe by Cooking With Morgane

The recipe compares the classic water‑soaked rice paper method with a modern coconut‑milk softening technique, includes a double‑fry for extra crunch, and provides a tangy dipping sauce and pickled garnish for a complete meal.

Critical Success Points

  • Soaking the vermicelli, mushrooms, and dried shrimp for full hydration.
  • Squeezing excess water from grated radish and carrots to keep filling dry.
  • Sautéing taro with shallots to develop flavor and prevent raw texture.
  • Sealing each roll with egg white to avoid opening during the second fry.
  • Maintaining precise oil temperatures (160 °C, 140 °C, 180 °C) for the double‑fry.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; use a deep‑fat pot with a stable base and never leave unattended.
  • Use a thermometer to verify oil temperature; overheating can lead to fire.
  • Handle raw pork with separate cutting board and wash hands thoroughly.
