This traditional Vietnamese Spring Roll recipe (g\u1ecfi cu\u1ed1n) is full of fresh veggies, herbs, soft slices of pork, and shrimp all brought together with a super flavorful hoisin and peanut dipping sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Vietnamese spring rolls or g\u1ecfi cu\u1ed1n?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

G\u1ecfi cu\u1ed1n<\/em> literally means salad rolls, and for the longest time I never made that connection. I just assumed it was a random name for these rolls, silly me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But these tasty little rice paper rolls are indeed an herby salad mixture, with pork, shrimp, and rice noodles. Dip it in as much sauce (or should we say salad dressing) as you’d like. I love g\u1ecfi cu\u1ed1n–they’re tasty and fun to eat. They’re great as a communal meal where everyone is rolling their own at the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mom says g\u1ecfi cu\u1ed1n or Vietnamese spring rolls were something people never made at home in Vietnam. It has so many components, and is quite an undertaking to prepare. It was crazy to even think of making it yourself when there were literally street vendors selling these outside your house just about everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnamese spring rolls were meant to be just an appetizer and never a full meal. Although when growing up, her family didn’t always have money to spend on snack foods like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
