Again, mix the mixture well and leave it to sit for about 10 minutes.

  • • Scoop the filling, about a heaping tablespoon, and place on one end of the rice paper noodle. Roll it until reach the center, then fold inwards the both sides and roll up to the other end.

• • • Pour a generous amount of cooking oil into a large pan and heat until it boils (small bubbles appear around the chopstick). Start frying and keep down the heat on medium.
