In a medium bowl combine pork and shrimp.  Soak mushrooms in warm water for

for 20 minutes, then cut into 1-inch lengths. Add mushrooms, bean threads,
onion, carrot, bean sprouts, black pepper, and fish sauce to pork mixture;
mix well.  Set mixture aside for 15 minutes to allow flavors of ingredients
to blend.  Dilute sugar in lukewarm water.  Place rice paper on a flat
surface and brush with water until it is pliable.  Place 2 teaspoonfuls of
filling.  Fold the right side over to enclose filling, then fold over left
side.  Continue to roll, then seal.  Heat oil for deep frying to 375xF.
Deep fry few rolls at a time until crisp and golden brown, about 15
minutes. Fry the remaining rolls. Serve by placing a spring roll in a
lettuce leaf and top with a mint leaf and cucumber slices. Top with Spring
Roll Sauce (see below for recipe), chopped peanut, and chili sauce. To eat
wrap the edges of the lettuce leaf over the roll and take a bite. It is
delicious!
