Cooking Meat Vietnamese spring rolls with nuoc cham

These Vietnamese spring rolls filled with crab and pork mince are a fantastic starter to an Asian banquet menu.

  1. Place noodles in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain. Roughly chop.
  2. Combine noodles, pork, crab, garlic, coriander, onions and fish sauce in a large bowl. Mix well.
  3. Line a baking tray with a damp tea towel. Combine 2 cups warm water and sugar in a large, round, shallow dish. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper in water mixture for 5 seconds or until it starts to soften. Place on tea towel. Place 2 tablespoons pork mixture in a sausage shape along 1 end. Roll end over filling, then roll up wrapper tightly from 1 end to the other, folding sides in to enclose filling. Brush edge with eggwhite and press to seal. Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers and pork mixture.
