Spring roll with glass noodles, beef, cabbage and carrots, nice and crispy

The filling: Cook the glass noodles for about 5 minutes, then cool under cold running water and set aside. Shred the cabbage into thin strips, cut the carrots into thin sticks, and finely dice the onion. Place the vegetables in a pan and soften with a little water. Just before the end, add the vegetable stock and set it aside. Cut the beef into strips and fry briefly in a pan, then chop or dice the strips into very fine pieces. Tip: You can also place 2-3 strips next to each other on the cutting board; this saves time. Now place the noodles and vegetables in a large bowl, add the teriyaki sauce, the soy sauce, and the beef. Mix everything well. Roll the rolls: Place a few rice paper sheets in a shallow dish and pour water over them (like soaking gelatin sheets). Place a now softened piece of rice paper on a cutting board and place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center. First, fold the sides toward the middle (think of folding a T-shirt). Then fold the bottom side toward the middle and roll up to the top. The rice paper will stick together on its own at the end. If it doesn’t (this often happens with frozen rice paper), use a little egg white as glue to help it stick. Heat a little oil in a pan, a good splash if you like, and then place the rolls in the hot oil, open-side down, so that it sets first and nothing can fall apart. Bake until golden brown and crispy. Drain the oil on some kitchen paper and keep warm in the oven if necessary. It’s time to serve: I like these rolls best with sweet/spicy chili sauce, cold or warm; both are delicious. If you like, you can also add some vegetable carvings, flowers, hearts, or whatever you like. I got 21 rolls, but the number can vary depending on the size of your rolls and how much filling you use.
