spring rolls are my favorite 😄

vietnamese spring rolls ~

This is a dish that I’m sure everyone knows.. I call these spring rolls, but some of you may call it summer roll 🤔🤔 it’s an everlasting debate that I don’t think will ever be settled.

Spring rolls are the perfect party dish since everything can be cooked ahead of time and it just needs to be rolled when ready to eat. If you want a food party idea, I highly highly recommend a spring roll party 🥳 I had one a few weeks ago and it was so much fun! I laid out all of the ingredients for everyone and we all made spring rolls to our liking.

note: these should be eating right away so the rice paper stays fresh!

The peanut dipping sauce is ESSENTIAL. Here’s my recipe —
- ½ part smooth peanut butter
- 1 part hoisin sauce
- 1 part thick canned coconut milk or cream
- water to loosen, if necessary

I like to use tiger shrimp for spring rolls and make sure the shell is still on. This protects the shrimp from overcooking and leads to a much better texture. Keep that same water to gently boil the pork belly as well. How much salt should you use? Well a spoonful or two, depending on how much water you use. Taste it and see - it should taste salty, but not SALTY. My pork belly was small since it was just me eating, so it took about 15-20 minutes to finish cooking.

A tip I learned many years ago: When cooking shrimp or prawns, when they cook and look like a "C, " that means they are COOKED. When they get to the "O" stage, that means they are OVERCOOKED. So definitely stop just before they turn into Cs, since residual heat will finish the last little bit of cooking turning them into the perfect "C." This combintation of ingredients look perfect! And thanks for giving us your sauce recipe - I'll definitely use it.

Wish you explained more of what the items are and how much to use I noticed in a lot of your videos you cook like we are suppose to know what to do. Everything you make looks really appetizing and I almost want to try to make what you are making but I'm not sure how it is suppose to taste or what the measurements are or in some cases what the food product is. Wish you elaborated more!

I made these for the first time last night, and they turned out yummy. Just need to practice the wrapping😂

You can fry spring rolls. Just coat it in thin cornstarch. I always use spring roll wrapper when I make cordon bleu.
And yes you can do that. It's easier to roll the meat that way so it wouldn't break.

To make the peanut sauce just add peanut butter to hoisin sauce, I prefer crunchy peanut butter.
