The Summer Roll, also known as the Vietnamese Spring Roll or Gỏi cuốn, is a popular dish with a rich history. Originating in Vietnam, these fresh and vibrant rolls are a staple of Vietnamese cuisine. Traditionally made with rice paper, vermicelli noodles, fresh herbs, and a choice of protein such as shrimp or pork, they are often served with a side of peanut dipping sauce. Renowned chefs like Luke Nguyen and Andrea Nguyen have popularized the dish, and it has gained international acclaim. Today, the best Summer Rolls can be found in Vietnam, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. The key to a perfect Summer Roll lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the delicate balance of flavors. For a twist, some chefs incorporate unique fillings like mango or avocado, adding a modern touch to this classic dish. Whether enjoyed at a street food stall in Vietnam or at a top Vietnamese restaurant, the Summer Roll is a delightful and refreshing culinary experience.
