Today I was craving spring rolls and had all the ingredients in the fridge, so I made them quickly. My recipe is a Chinese-style version with lots of cabbage. This is how my family usually makes them at home.

The first time I made this dish for a party, it was such a unique experience—everyone loved it, and it wasn’t heavy at all. I was happy to see nearly 100 rolls disappear quickly, with lots of compliments!

Fried spring rolls (nem rán) are a must-have dish on our family table during Tet and memorial gatherings. This time, I used special spring roll wrappers, so the rolls turned out extra crispy and delicious.

Most spring rolls are filled with cabbage and glass noodles, but today I tried making them with a spicy basil mushroom filling instead.

Vegetarian spring rolls with a crispy wrapper and a sweet, tender vegetable filling. Delicious served with rice vermicelli, fresh herbs, and dipped in vegetarian fish sauce or soy sauce.

These Chinese-style shrimp spring rolls are very popular and turn out delicious. They're crispy on the outside, and the vegetables stay perfectly tender. They're served with a sauce that's a little salty, sweet, and slightly bitter all at once.

It's been a while since I had fresh spring rolls. I remembered I had some lettuce and other ingredients in the fridge, so I made some. Totally satisfied!

Kanikama is an imitation crab meat, also known as surimi. It's very popular in making California-style rolls. Kanikama is made from surimi paste, which is a processed blend of different types of fish that mimics crab or lobster meat.

These Vietnamese-style fresh spring rolls are easy to make. As long as you can wrap them and have some sweet chili sauce, you're set! Plus, they're healthy.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, many of us love preparing a festive meal for our families. Although I'm from Central Vietnam, my mother-in-law is from the North, so I learned how to make authentic Northern-style nem rán from her. In our home, a plate of crispy, delicious nem rán is always part of the New Year's feast. This beloved dish features a golden, crunchy wrapper filled with pork, wood ear mushrooms, eggs, and a mix of vegetables. I usually serve it with a basket of fresh herbs, some pickled vegetables, and a sweet and tangy dipping sauce, just like people do in Central Vietnam. Nem rán has become a traditional dish not only in the North but all across Vietnam, with only slight differences in preparation and name.

Our family's fresh spring rolls live up to the name 'Lazy Kitchen.' We make food that's as quick and easy as possible—perfect for anyone short on time who wants a simple meal. Here's how we do it: Buy grilled chicken skewers (just the chicken meat), and get spring roll wrappers. For the filling, we use mint leaves, carrots, and green apple. For the dipping sauce, we use bottled plum sauce, which you can find at most grocery stores.Cut the spring roll wrappers in half. Find a large plate that fits the wrappers and fill it with clean water to soak them. Prepare the fillings: pick the mint leaves, shred the carrot, and shred the green apple. Slice the grilled chicken into long strips. Soak the spring roll wrappers in water until they're soft, then place them on a cutting board. Add the veggies, then the chicken, and gently roll them up.

I used to always buy spring roll wrappers, but now I can easily make them myself. At first, it takes some practice to get the heat right, since every stove and pan is different. Try making them a few times and you'll get the hang of it. Tip: If the pan is too hot, the dough won't stick to the pan—it'll stick to your hand instead!
