Ingredients:
1 lb ground pork

- Mix shrimp, ground pork, shredded carrot and glass noodles into a large bowl.

Making the rolls:
- Separate the spring roll wrap sheets.
- On a plate, place one wrap in a diamond form with a corner pointing towards you.
- Scoop a spoonful of the filling and place it just above the corner of the wrap closest to your body.
- Lift the bottom corner of your wrap to cover your filling.
- Next, fold in the side corners, keeping your sides as even/parallel as much as possible.
- Continue rolling your wrap up and away from you.
- Add a dab of egg yolk to the final corner of the wrap and roll to close.
- Deep fry spring rolls in oil on medium high heat until golden brown.
- Set finished spring rolls over paper towel to dab off excess oil.
- Enjoy!
