Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls / Gỏi Cuốn

The quick and easy dish for the appetizer to me is Vietnamese fresh spring rolls (gỏi cuốn ) even the satisfying its pretty much content with plenty of healthiness.

These lovable spring rolls actually loaded with super fresh and flavorful vegetables and herbs, I would say, let the photo do the justice ;)

Placing a wide range of greens over the rice pepper sheet and do the rolling to a good looking wraps are the fun part, very entertaining!

It decided to have a fancy of greens and herbs to my gỏi cuốn/ Vietnamese fresh spring rolls this time, because I realized that last week i cook too much seafood and meat stuff--to redeem the guilt, its just dead right if the choice fall into this one.

Dipping sauce,
I found my personal favorite dipping sauce is quite delightful, it’s inspired from the queuing sauces bottles seating in my cupboard and I conjured to a very personal devoted :)

 Layer the various vegetables followed by the herbs

 Fold in the sides nearest you and tuck in

 Roll up slightly tight, gently handle as you don’t want to tear it up

Note:

There are different kind for the wrappers, rice paper sheet and tapioca sheet

It says that the tapioca sheet is just more glutinous and perhaps little thinner and translucent, suggested dipping it quicker in warm water
