Roll up the rice paper and cut it into bite-sized strips. Cut the Vietnamese mint finely and leave some stems uncut. Shred the mango into thin, long strips.
Mix water with vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar to make the Banh Trang Tron sauce. Add all the ingredients, except the quail eggs, into a mixing bowl. Toss to combine.
Add in the boiled quail eggs and toss the salad another 3 to 4 times.

Notes
The total time is based on 4 servings.
You can find some of the ingredients on online shopping sites, but for the most authentic flavor, I highly recommend going to an Asian or Vietnamese store.
If you want the rice paper to have a softer texture, let it rest for about 2 minutes after tossing it with the sauce.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your taste.
Banh tráng trộn is not an ideal make-ahead recipe, as the rice paper can become overly soggy if you let it sit for too long.
Pork cracklings and Vietnamese scallion oil are great additions to the salad.
