Vietnamese Fried Rolls



Vietnamese Fried Roll
s



Prepare to taste... Julienne cabbage, flakes of boiled 
chicken, slices of boiled shrimps, Julienne tofu, spring 
onions cut to desired length, cucumbers (no seeds), 
vermicelli or glass noodle (soak in water), eggs, sesame oil,
salt, pepper, chopped shitake, Vietnamese roll wrapper
(dried).

Okay, I told you to get the dry kind of Vietnamese spring 
roll wrapper, but first thing we need to do is soak the wraps 
in water. Do it separately, piece by piece, or they are going 
to stick to each others. Don't soak too long. Just until they 
turn a bit softer. Then mix all other ingredients. Set aside.

Spread out one piece of wrapper and put the mixture on it. 
Wrap well. Set aside. Do next roll.

Put lots of oil in the frying wok or skillet. Wait until it
boil. To see if the oil is boiling, stick a wooden chopstick
in it. If there are bubbles... It's boiling.

Deep fry the rolls until almost golden brown. Remove before 
it turns black. Serve hot. Eat with fresh vegetable (basil 
leaves and mints are common side fresh vegies for Vietnamese 
food). Dip with one of the sauces for Fried food in the Thai food recipes.
