2 lb ground pork or ground chicken

1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
4 egg yolks, save white for egg wash
1-1/2 c grated or shredded carrots

Steps:

1. Soak the bean threads in water for 1 hour. Drain well. Cut threads into 4 inches pieces. Set aside.
2. Preheat hot oil in a deep fryer. Mix pork, onion, salt, pepper, ginger, soy sauce, garlic, and yolks together in a bowl.
3. Add carrots, bean sprouts, and bean threads. Mix using fork and spoon.
4. Place a couple of teaspoons of mixture on a wrap.
