Ingredients:
For the rice rolls:
1 cup rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the filling:
1 pound of ground pork
1/2 cup dried wood ear mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
To make the rice rolls, start by combining the rice flour, tapioca flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add in the water and mix until a smooth batter forms. Then, let the batter rest for 30 minutes to allow it to thicken.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by soaking the dried wood ear mushrooms in hot water for 30 minutes. Once softened, drain and chop the mushrooms into small pieces. In a pan, cook the ground pork until it's no longer pink, then add in the mushrooms, garlic, shallot, green onions, and cilantro. Season with fish sauce, sugar, and ground black pepper, and cook until the mixture is fragrant and well combined.
Now, it's time to steam the rice rolls. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly brush it with vegetable oil. Pour a ladleful of the rice batter onto the pan and swirl it around to create a thin layer. Cover the pan and let the rice crepe cook for 1-2 minutes. Once the edges start to lift, remove the rice crepe from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat this process until all the batter is used up.
To assemble the rice rolls, lay a rice crepe on a flat surface and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Fold the sides of the rice crepe over the filling and roll it up tightly. Repeat this process with the remaining rice crepes and filling.
Serve the steamed rice rolls with a side of fish sauce dipping sauce and enjoy the delicious flavors of Vietnam in your own home!
