Dipping sauce: mix sugar, fish sauce and lemon together, add in fresh minced garlic and chili if desired.
Requirement: The rolls are golden brown, not burnt, not cracky, crispy. If diced carrots and jicama are used, the stuffing might be a little bit crunchy, matching the crispy fried rice paper, but the juice from these vegetables can cause the rolls to soften after a short time. The ingredients, however, are not fixed
Servings: “Nem rán” can be eaten by itself, wrapped in lettuce, dipped into fish sauce mixed with lemon juice or vinegar, water, sugar, garlic and chili pepper, or served with rice vermicelli. Read more about Vietnamese Fried Spring Rolls on our Cuisine page.
