Vietnamese Spring Rolls

I have always like cooking. Sometime, I recreate some of this dishes I have tried before but it is not always successful. One time, I try making Whisky Pork Ribs, the results is quite shocking. Having a cookbook around is always useful to produce great food, sometimes. One of my collection of cookbook is this vietnamese cook book I got when it was introduce by The Star paper. What motivate me to get try vietnamese food is partly my trip to Vietnam and my buddy's friends wife. She personally requested us to get this special vietnamese rice paper - Banh da Nem which is not available in KL (that was what I made believe).

One of the first thing I try is the Vietnamese Spring Roll. Here are the ingredients (a little modification by myself):
- Minced pork, Crabmeat, Prawns (peeled & minced)
- Carrot & Turnip (both julienned)
- 1-2 cloves Shallots & Garlic (finely chopped)
- Egg beaten
- Pepper, salt & sugar for taste


Turnip, Minced Pork & Prawn (just ran out of carrot)


Crabmeat

Mixed up everything together and warpped it with the rice paper.





Then carefully wrapped Vietnamese Spring Roll but not so tight. This can easily tear the rice paper. To make it easier to warp soften the rice paper by wipe it with wet towel.





Then deep fry under slow or medium heat till become golden brown.



Tata! the completed Vietnamese Spring Rolls.



You can try this with different type of filling for e.g. add some fish paste. Yummyyyyyy.....
