Whenever I dine in a Vietnamese restaurant, this is my number #1 must order.I just heart fresh spring rolls. Deep fried ones are nice too but the healthier side of me prefers this especially filled with lots of various fresh herbs, so refreshing, light and yet not lacking in flavour.
They are pretty easy to make too, perfect for a party :)
Discovered that there are various ways of wrapping it so am going to split it to various post just in case the pictures take too long to upload.
For the filling, you can almost wrap anything inside - vegetables, meat, seafood or even fruits. The ingredient list may look long but that it is the combination that makes it taste so good, healthy too - look at all the fresh vegetables. :) Actually the most tedious part is cleaning and shelling the prawns but you don't need to use them if you don't want to - can always substitute with leftover roast chicken.
Ingredients you need:
rice paper rolls
lettuce
boiled
cooked vermicelli noodle
some cooked prawns, peeled and sliced in half
carrot, sliced thinly
cucumber, sliced thinly
mint
thai basil
coriander
bowl of lukewarm water
garlic chive
If you need a recipe, Luke Nguyen is my favourite.
There are probably many ways to wrap them but decided to share 3 styles you may consider, mosey over to Part 1, Part 2 or Part 3.
For the dipping sauce, mosey here.
