Crispy Vietnamese Spring Rolls
Crispy Vietnamese Spring Rolls
"Spring rolls are indeed one of the best representations of Vietnamese cuisine. A popular appetizer with a crunchy texture and intense flavor. Spices, noodles, vegetables, and great herbs all play big roles in Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnamese cuisine is about balancing different flavors, spicy, sour, bitter, salty, and sweet. Vietnamese food has become popular around the world especially in the United States. If you can’t find decent Vietnamese rice paper, you can use wonton wrappers. Another substitute is a Filipino-style spring roll wrapper — which is made from flour and water."
