I often make fresh spring rolls instead of salad. When I listened to all the requests of my family, this version was the result. The rice paper is simply moistened in water and used to wrap up the fillings, so it's easy. If you aren't going to slice the rolls, tuck the ends in as you roll them and they're less likely to fall apart.There are many ways of rehydrating rice paper, but I just wet it quickly in water. If it's over-soaked it becomes really hard to handle. Any tough bits will quickly soften, so until you get used to wrapping these spring rolls, it may be easier to handle the rice paper while it's still stiff. If you are only wrapping a few rolls, you can just run them under the tap! Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

Very light and healthy great for summer dining

The fresh spring rolls I had at a food stall in Vietnam were so tasty that I toyed around with various flavors to come up with the right recipe The sauce is truly delicious.Use your choice of fillings. You don't have to have all of the ingredients. I also recommend filling them with avocado or kimchi. You could also substitute leftover somen noodles for the cellophane noodles. Wrapping the fillings first in the green salad leaves prevents the wrappers from breaking apart while wrapping, and also while eating. Recipe by Tomonchicchi

I love fresh spring rolls but I'm not too fond of sweet chili sauce...so I combined my favorite seasoning ingredients to make this delicious dipping sauce.Even people who don't like vegetables will eat them served like this, so it's a great way to try out all different sorts of vegetables.When rehydrating the wrappers, it's best if you take them out while they are still a bit firm, since the moisture in the wrapped vegetables will soften them some more and make them just right. If they are still too hard try spraying them with water using a mister or spray. You can also try lightly brushing some water on them. Recipe by Taberunba

Once my friend invited me out to try Southern Vietnamese cuisine, I was very impressed with caramelized fish sauce served with crispy rice crackers and steamed vegetables. A countryside dish but irresistible! This aromatic dipping sauce is made by simmering some fragrant fried shallots with shrimp, together with pork, seasoned in sugar, caramel sauce, fish sauce, and fresh chili.

#meatless #oilless #quarantinemenuideaIt’s been almost four months, Sunday has become my lazy day to cook. Not because I don’t want to cook. But it’s because I don’t really have time to cook. This semester, Sunday becomes my quizzes, exams, and assignments due day. And usually I spent almost whole day to study. So if I cooked, then I will cook something quick and easy food. I looked up at my fridge, I still had leftover garnishes such as been sprout, cilantro, basil, jalapeño from Pho noodle the day before. Then I separated them, and adding some more veggies that I have left in my fridge and I rolled them into vegetables rolls. Do you want to know what I put in these colorful vegetable rolls? Let’s check out the ingredients and how to make it 😊

This is my take on this delicious style sauce using ingredients that I had readily available. Great with spring or egg rolls.

Asian Dumplings.. these are fried but you can steam them... so good... i also froze some for later... (L) :hungry

° This really is a wonderfully flavored, versatile, salty, tangy, sweet, acidic & undeniably spicy dipping sauce! Try it out, tweek it, then feel free to make it your very own signature dip!° Serving a colorful dipping sauce like this - even with Pot Stickers and Wontons - more than ensures each bite is as memorable as the next! Its lack of viscosity only means it'll easily find its way into the deepest nooks and crannies of your thickest fried seafood pieces! Like catfish and soft shell crab!

Since my 6 & 7 year old culinary students already know how to make pork potstickers, we bought pre-made ones from COSTCO for a quick lunch. Anyway, the packages said they came with a soy dipping sauce. No. No they did not. So, I charged them with making their own. I tell ya. Their dipping sauce ended up super delicious and five minutes fast! It also goes great with sushi and egg rolls!

These crispy and crunchy fried wontons are the best party food ever!!! They’ll disappear in a blink 😃 IG @jenscookingdiary
