☀Cooking With Mom: Vietnamese Egg Rolls {Cha Gio}

My mom never fails to provide us with her crispy egg rolls during any event, party or gatherings. I grew up with this stuff, and the junk you get from your local Chinese take out will no longer come near your dinner plate after trying this out! Over the years mom has changed her recipes a few times by adding or removing shrimp and taro. This recipe is the simplified but still very delicious version of her egg rolls. I personally prefer this since I am not a fan of shrimp, plus taro is a bit tricky to cook and prepare.
Note:
Recipe for 50 rolls:
½ cup sugar (or truvia)
2 tsp. Salt (to taste)
2 tsp. Pepper (to taste)
1 Package of Cello phane Noodles- amzn.to/13Bq1Zp
1 egg
2 lbs ground lean pork (turkey meat if you don't eat pork, soy ground meat, or shrimp)
2-3 Large Carrots
½ Cabbage
½ Large Onion
Two Spring Roll Wraps- The brand we prefer is called TYJ Spring Roll Pastry- bit.ly/13g4HFg
Canola Oil

    I started to noticed how much my mom loves it when people compliment her cooking. This is the best compliment and she watches her cooking videos about 20 times. It's work, but it's my way to show my mom how much I appreciate her...and she loves LOVES the attention ^_~

    I just want you to know I made you moms egg rolls with my family the other night and they were a smash hit with my family and our guest. Please tell your mother thank you for sharing her recipes!!! Btw, my daughter followed your mothers fish sauce recipe to the letter for the egg rolls and our neighbor, who is from Vietnam said it's the best fish sauce she's had here in the States! Thanks again!

    "If you don't like onions, you can surely leave it out." I use shallots instead - the ones that still look like small brown or regular onions. A much more subtle, mellow/mild onion flavour. They are also easier on tummies that are sensitive to strong foods. Glad I found this channel... 7 years late.

    I have failed at making egg rolls for 18 years. With this recipe, I finally arrived. The egg rolls were fantastic, flaky, crispy and freeze well. I am so excited. I don't have to buy restaurant egg rolls anymore. I can now make my own... and this recipe is so EASSSSSSSSY!!!!

Thank you and your mom for taking the time to make it ^^ I'm vegetarian, but I'll just use a substitute for the pork meat and make everything else as the video shows - looks so crispy and nice! :o

    My mom adds wood ear fungus and tons of garlic she also don't precook the pork because it will get dry and tough. I really like the way your mom wraps the egg rolls with the corner folded up.

    I think your mom did a great job. I'm Cambodian and my mom makes her similar to yours except my mom does not like to precook her pork. She did tell us if we want to make sure that the meat was cooked thoroughly during the eggroll frying period, we can precook it. Some people are very ignorant to personal preferences. Your mom can cook it however which way she wants to and she will STILL make it her own VIETNAMESE STYLE. I watched plenty of khmer cooking channels that have their own style and is VERY different then my mom's. To each is own. Great video. One of the only video that is most likely my mom's style :)

    These came out so, so amazing for me on the second try. (I only made about 8 with the mixture first try so I had plenty mixture left to try again the next day. I used ground chicken for the meat 😉 .) Had to learn how to turn the rolls without breaking them. I used chopsticks and a small cookie spatula to help me turn. Also, pieces of cabbage I had in the mixture 1st time were too sharp and pierced through the wrap while wrapping and cooking them. 2nd time I made sure cabbage pieces I put in the rolls we're softer. It was great that you demonstrated the rolling twice in a row to reinforce learning. Such a great, easy to follow video that I was able to refer to several times. Well done and thank you!!!!!

    Tip for testing the oil is by sticking the end of a wooden spoon into the oil, and when bubbles form around it, that means it's ready for frying. :)
