These Vietnamese Spring Rolls (Gỏi cuốn) are super easy and quick to make for an Asian-inspired lunch. They are filled with rice noodles, prawns, fresh vegetables, and are very light, yet very filling. Also, my fresh rolls are very kids friendly, with just right amount of heat. I used chili paste in my dressing/dip sauce, but you can use chili peppers with seeds if you’d like more drama 🙂 Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 pack rice paper wrap (bánh tráng)
1 pack rice noodles

    Excellent Vietnamese spring rolls (gỏi cuốn) wrapped in rice paper (bánh tráng), so refreshing and delicious, especially dipped in the flavorful sauce. I like your dipping sauce with no fish sauce in it. You made the Vietnamese proud! Yum!

      Thank you dear Fae! I was thinking about the fish sauce actually, but it turned out that I liked it better without it 🙂
