I used to grate carrots, shred cabbage etc to make these things, but thanks to american supermarkets that sell coleslaw veges already shredded, I no longer need to do that. A big bonus let me tell you....
1 packet shredded cabbage and carrot
vermicelli rice noodles (soaked in hot water for 30 minutes to soften)
1lb veal or chicken mince
1lb pork mince (not the seasoned stuff you use for sausage)
garam masala, salt & pepper for flavour
2 packets of spring roll wrappers...the smooth kind if you can find them
all purpose flour (about 2 heaped wooden spoonfuls
water (enough to make a glue consistency)
******************
In a pot, cook the ground meats. Add the cabbage & carrot. Cut the rice noodles into small sections and toss in with the ingredients cooking. Add spices etc to flavour. When cooked, take off the heat and allow to cool down.
in a small saucepan, mix water with flour and stir over medium heat to make a glue consistency. Take off the heat
Place wrappers under wet tea towel so they don't dry out. Take one wrapper at a time. Place on diagonal position. Spoonful or two of mixture up from the corner of the wrapper. Wrap by lifting corner over mixture, roll, then fold in sides like an envelope, continue rolling. Place a bit of glue mixture on corner of wrapper and finish rolling. This will have no flavour and will not be gluggy or anything, yet will keep it all together.
Deep fry until golden and serve.
A nice dipping sauce is sweet chilli sauce mixed with soy sauce...viola...

| I used to make it solely with salt and pepper and malaysian curry powder, but haven't found the malay curry powder over here...so sometimes I use garam masala , other times I use chinese 5 spice...and then sometimes..just a general curry powder.
