🥬 GỎI CUỐN / VIETNAMESE FRESH SUMMER ROLLS 🇻🇳 Now that you know how to WRAP gỏi cuốn, the fun part is making them your own. There really isn’t one fixed combination. In Vietnam, you’ll see all kinds of fresh ingredients tucked inside, including mango, pineapple and different herbs and vegetables to create sweetness, acidity, crunch and contrast. Here’s what I used in my video: For the rolls • Rice paper, My Tho brand recommended • Bún rice vermicelli noodles • Soft leafy lettuce, rather than crunchy romaine • Pickled carrots, or fresh carrots, julienned • Cucumber, sliced • Fresh herbs: cilantro, mint, Thai basil, perilla, etc. Proteins • Shrimp, cooked and sliced in half lengthwise • Boiled pork, thinly sliced • Shredded crab sticks But seriously, use whatever you love or have on hand. Chicken, beef, tofu, leftover roast pork, mushrooms, extra vegetables, fruit… have fun with it! The biggest thing is balancing textures and flavours while keeping everything compact enough to wrap tightly. And now that you’ve mastered the wrapping technique, you can basically build your dream gỏi cuốn. 😉 Serve with nước chấm or the peanut sauce you just learned how to make! #VietnameseFood #GoiCuon #RiceWraps #VietnameseCooking #Vietnamese
