Vietnamese Spring Rolls


One of our favourite quick and easy to make snack is the Vietnamese Spring Rolls, well, at least our version of it. It's quick, healthy, easy to make and it taste great! One may need some practice in rolling rice paper to get a hang of it.


The rice paper is first dipped entire into a bowl of water, for a mere few seconds, removed and place over a clean surface to work on. Add 1/2 a teaspoon of oyster sauce and prime over it.

 You can add a variety of fresh ingredients to it. Our favourites are bean sprouts, sliced cucumber and carrots, boiled shrimps, blanched Chinese vermicelli, mint leaves and crushed peanuts.


 Rolling the rolls requires some practice. The key is to keep them tight and not too stuffed, to make sure that there are enough surface to wrap it securely.
 Voila!
You can also deep fry them to give it a bit of crunchiness! Our favourite serving is with Thai chilli sauce.

Happy rolling!
