Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Ingredients:

2 lb ground pork (or mix of pork and veal)
1 large onion, chopped
2 eggs
1 lb crabmeat
1 small pkg bean sprouts, rinsed
1 small pkg bean threads or rice vermicelli,
cooked according to package
1 pkg triangular rice paper
3 Tbsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Mix pork, onion, eggs, crab, sprouts, bean threads, parsley, salt and
pepper as you would to make meatballs. Fill a large flat bowl with warm
water. Using 2 triangular papers for each spring roll, dip into warm
water and overlap points (tip to tip). Place one large spoonful of pork
mixture onto one paper and roll across to end of facing paper, tucking
in the ends. Deep fry in hot oil about 10-15 minutes until dark golden
brown. To eat, place a spring roll in a lettuce leaf lined with a
couple of mint leaves, roll up and dip in fish sauce, below.

Fish Sauce

1 pint lemonade (or 1 lemon cut & squeezed thoroughly,
1 pint water and sugar to taste)
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 Tbsp bottled fish sauce (available in Oriental stores)
1/2 tsp crushed Italian red pepper

Add garlic and crushed red pepper to lemonade. Add fish sauce several
drops at a time until the lemonade turns brownish (to taste).

NOTE: Spring Rolls may be made ahead, fried 10 minutes, and frozen.
Thaw and fry an additional 5-10 minutes when ready to serve. Fish sauce
will keep in fridge a couple weeks.

Simple recipe for pho?
Psh...I doubt it.
If you want to make like good pho, it still takes you about a day and if you want to make like really GOOD pho that takes you like a day and half.
