Vietnamese Spring Rolls

Referring to Vietnamese cuisine, it is impossible to forget Vietnamese Spring Rolls. This article shows you how to have crispy Vietnamese spring rolls and how to make a simple dipping sauce. Fried spring rolls are very famous and popular among Vietnamese people, so it seems to be pointless to write about something that everyone knows. However, it’s also cool to have my own recipe with no need to ask Google :-P, and more importantly, some tips are hopefully useful for my foreign friends who want to try to prepare the dish.

Ingredients:

  • Minced pork (can be replaced by beef or chicken for variation, but pork is traditional)
  • Shrimp or crab meat (optional) to add more flavor
  • Vegetables: Carrot (Orange), German turnip (white), and Herbs (coriander/fennel/thyme ) or spring onions (green) to make the spring rolls colorful. Mexican turnips (Jicama) or bean sprouts can be used as well but they contain more water, so I prefer to use carrots and German turnips.
  • Mushrooms, dry vermicelli.
  • Egg (to bind ingredients when frying), shallot (or onion) (add more beautiful smell), and of course rice papers (to wrap)
  • Vegetable oil, vinegar, lime, sugar, salt, pepper, chili, garlic, and fish sauce

Making dipping sauce

Many Vietnamese people joke that making dipping sauce is the most important step and shows the cooking skills of women.

In order to make a beautiful, colorful sauce with floating garlic and chili, it has some tricks dipping sauce is to be made first since it’ll be spectacular if it is left to curve for long hours.

Therefore if you are supposed to make Vietnamese fried spring rolls, you can make the dipping sauce the night before.

The following ratio of ingredients is referenced from a Vietnamese Chief recipe:

  • 100g sugar
  • 100ml vinegar
  • 50g salty fish sauce
  • 300ml water
  • 10ml lime juice
  • Chopped garlic and chili

The first 5 ingredients are mixed together first and set for a while (or long hours). Garlic and chili are added until eating. Garlic and chili need to be chopped very finely. Do not crush them, just chop them into very small pieces with a knife.

TIPS: Put some drops of lime juice in garlic and chili, they will float beautifully on the dipping sauce.

If you don’t have any utensils to measure the ratio, you can simply mix a bowl of sugar water and lime juice which is suitable to your palate, then gradually add the fish sauce until it tastes right.

You don’t need to use vinegar. Garlic and chili are made as above.

Prepare for spring rolls

– Mushrooms and vermicelli need to be soaked in water for a while, not too long because their main roles are to absorb the water for easier wrapping and rolling. They also add flavor and make the spring rolls more crunchy.

– Finely chop all veggies, mushrooms, and vermicelli into consistent small pieces. To be quicker, a Grinder or Salad Chopper can be used to chop and mix them together.

– Then mix with meat, shrimp, or crab and add chopped garlic, salt, and pepper –> Add egg –> Add oil into the mixture to avoid watery rolls which will stop your rolls from being crunchy

Wrapping: Choose big or small paper rice and stuff more or less, depending on how large you want them. Wrap small ones, it takes more time but the rolls will be more crunchy. Drop a little bit of vinegar into the rice paper to make it more crackling. Put all wrapped rolls in the fridge for 15-20 min before frying.

Frying

Use a frying pan with lots of oil. Put some drops of lime juice so that the oil won’t splash on you and everywhere. I love this step most because the smell is so great and the sound of bubbling and drizzling is also interesting

If you are supposed to make rolls for two or three meals in 2-3 days, you can fry them two times. The first time, you just fry rolls to rare or medium status under low heat.

Second, spring rolls are fried under greater heat until they turn into beautiful yellow color. Put them aside for a while then ENJOY.

If you leave some for later meals, then put them into the freezer. When you wanna eat them, just fry them again.
