Vietnamese fresh spring rolls

Ingredients

4portions
Spring rolls
Nuoc cham sauce

Step by step process

Preparation

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix the fish sauce with water and sugar, add the squeezed lime juice, crushed garlic, and finely chopped chili. Adjust the sauce briefly to taste.

  2. 2

    Wash and dry the lettuce and tear it into smaller leaves. cut the cucumber and carrot into thin strips, rinse the herbs, and let them drain.

  3. 3

    Coarsely chop the peanuts for sprinkling and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Bring salted water to a boil in a pot and add the pork belly. simmer gently for 25-30 minutes until tender, then cool and slice very thinly.

    TIP: 

    Let the meat cool in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes after cooking, then slice into very thin slices against the grain. Cold slices cut more easily and improve the texture of the rolls.

  2. 5

    Place the prawns in boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. drain, cool, peel, and optionally halve them lengthwise.

  3. 6

    Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until soft, rinse with cold water, drain well, and divide into four piles for easier rolling.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare a wide bowl of lukewarm water and a damp kitchen towel on a cutting board. briefly soak a sheet of rice paper for 5-10 seconds and place it on the towel.

    TIP: 

    Soak the rice paper in warm water for only 5-10 seconds, then lay it on a damp towel. When rolling, be gentle, fold in the sides, and roll tightly so the paper doesn't tear.

  2. 8

    On the lower third, place a lettuce leaf, some noodles, strips of cucumber and carrot, a few herb leaves, a slice of pork belly, and the prawn halves. fold the sides and roll tightly.

  3. 9

    Serve the finished rolls immediately with the nuoc cham sauce and optionally sprinkle with the chopped peanuts.

More tips:

Do not soak the rice paper for too long. a brief soak and working on a damp towel prevent tearing and make rolling easier.
