Vietnamese Spring Rolls

So this is your host Dinesh, and welcome to the first episode of Dinners, Desserts, and Drinks. We'll start with a food that is none of the above, but is delicious anyway, Vietnamese summer rolls. Made by my co-hosts TuQuynh and Sarah, these are made of a clear spring roll wrapper around romaine lettuce, shrimp, pork, rice noodles, parsley and mint.

The most interesting part of this for me was that the shell is dipped into warm water, and then the filling is put into it. There is no cooking of the shell involved!


There are two sauces for this dish, a hoisin-based sauce from Southern Vietnam(right) and a fish sauce from Northern Vietnam(left).


Here is the final product!

So full, need nap! Bon Appetit! And get back to the kitchen and cook yourself some dinner!
