Vietnamese Summer Rolls, also known as Gỏi cuốn, are a popular dish in Vietnamese cuisine. These fresh and healthy rolls are made with rice paper, filled with a variety of ingredients such as shrimp, pork, herbs, and vermicelli noodles. The dish is believed to have originated in Northern Vietnam, where the cool climate made it ideal for enjoying light and refreshing meals. Today, Vietnamese Summer Rolls can be found in restaurants and street food stalls across the country, with variations in fillings and dipping sauces.
