Analyzing cooking steps...
Do not boil the vermicelli noodles; simply soak them in hot water to prevent them from becoming soggy.
It is crucial to remove as much moisture as possible from all filling ingredients, especially the noodles, to prevent the spring rolls from exploding during frying.
When rolling, remove the rice paper from the water while it is still firm. It will continue to soften on your work surface.
Roll the spring rolls as tightly as possible, ensuring you expel all air pockets, which can also cause them to burst in hot oil.
Chilling the rolled spring rolls uncovered helps to dry out the surface of the wrapper, leading to a crispier result and reducing the risk of explosions.
When frying, add rolls one by one and immediately separate them with chopsticks as they will try to stick together at first.
