Soak the rice noodles in cold water for about 20 minutes until they soften. Drain thoroughly and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice noodles, chicken, shrimp, eggs, carrot, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions. Add sugar, salt, and black pepper, and mix everything together well.

Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into a shallow bowl of warm water for about 15 seconds until it softens. Lay it flat on a damp cloth on a clean surface.
Place 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of the softened rice paper. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Continue with the remaining rice paper wrappers, soaking and filling each one separately.

Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the spring rolls in batches of 3 or 4, cooking in hot oil for about 5 minutes until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
