Recipe makes for 6 Servings

1 oz dried cloud ear mushrooms, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes.

12 oz ground pork

2 tbsp fish sauce

2 tsp sugar

1 tbsp peanut oil

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 shallots, finely chopped

2 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped

24 fresh rice sheets, 3-inch squares

ground black pepper

spring onion oil

nuoc cham, for dipping

Directions:

Drain the mushrooms and squeeze out any excess water. Cut off and discard the hard stems. Finely chop the rest of the mushrooms and put them in a bowl. Add the ground pork, fish sauce and sugar and mix well.

Heat the oil in a wok or heavy pan. Add the garlic, shallots and onions. Stir-fry until golden. Add the pork mixture and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes, until pork is cooked. Season with pepper.

Place the rice sheets on a flat surface. Spoon a tablespoon of the pork mixture onto the middle of each sheet. Fold one side over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll to enclose the filing, so that it resembles a short spring roll.


Place the filled rice rolls on a serving plate, drizzle with spring onion oil, and serve with nuoc cham or any other chili or tangy sauce of your choice, for dipping.
