Vegan Summer Rolls

Cultural Context

Originating from Vietnam, summer rolls, or Gỏi Cuốn, are a refreshing street food staple, often enjoyed during warm months. Traditionally filled with shrimp or pork, these rolls celebrate the balance of fresh vegetables and herbs. Today, vegan variations have gained popularity globally, allowing everyone to enjoy this light dish, perfect for warm weather gatherings.

1

Fill a shallow dish that will fit the rice paper wraps with warm water.

2

Set a rice paper wrap in the dish making sure the water goes over the top and let it sit for 10-15 seconds.

3

Take the wrap out of the water and lay it flat on a cutting board.

4

Start layering the vegetables on one side of the wrap about an inch from the edge, laying them all in the same direction about 3 inches long.

5

Take the one inch edge and gently fold it over the veggies and start to roll forward slightly.

6

Take the side edges and fold it over the roll towards the middle so that the ends are 'tucked in'.

7

Continue rolling the roll forward pressing the rice paper to itself.

8

Place the rolls on a plate making sure not to stack them on each other or they will stick together.

9

Continue making rolls until you have used all of the veggies or you have the amount that you want to eat.

10

Whisk sauce ingredients together.
