In an instant pot, add 1.5 liters water, the beef, 1 tbsp salt, and the sauteed spices. Don't stir the spices into the beef so they don't burn on the surface. Cook on pressure cooker for 40 minutes.
Mix the flour, cornstarch, beef stock, white pepper, egg, water, and oil into a batter.
Heat a non-stick pan on medium-low, pour batter and swirl into a thin crepe, cook 1-2 minutes until set but not brown, then flip to a plate. Repeat with all batter.
Put a wrapper on a flat surface, add 1 tbsp vermicelli in the center, fold the bottom over, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into a spring roll. Brush some batter on the edge to seal. Repeat for all wrappers.
Fry the risol over medium heat until golden brown.
Once the beef is tender, add the chopped carrot, green onion stalk, salt, mushroom bouillon, sugar, and white pepper. Simmer until the carrot softens.
Assemble the bowl with fried potatoes, sliced cabbage, sliced tomatoes, vermicelli noodles, risol, and beef, then pour the hot broth over.
