I would like to introduce a very lovely lady, Christine from http://holybasil.wordpress.com/ whom I met 8 years ago in Ann Arbor, Michigan. My husband and I took a Vietnamese cooking class together and had a wonderful time and learned so much from Christine.
If you happen to visit Ann Arbor, Michigan, be sure to book a cooking class with Christine as it will be a very memorable experience.
Please visit http://holybasil.wordpress.com/?s=Spring+Rolls+ for the complete Vietnamese Chả Giò recipe with instructions.
Vietnamese Chả Giò is a lovely roll that is stuffed with pork, mushrooms, shallots, jicama, cellophane bean noodles, carrot, shrimp, bánh tráng (rice paper). These little treats are fried and it makes the exterior crunchy and glistening. I love to dip my Vietnamese Chả Giò in Thai Sweet and sour sauce.

I am salivating looking at those delicious and crunchy looking rolls. Very nicely presented, Bam!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thanks Ray. I was very thankful to just get in a very quick photo before my hungry teenage boys demolished the plate. Take care, BAM

My father-in-law used to work at the USPS and he worked with a guy from Vietnam and he gave us a fabulous recipe for Vietnamese egg rolls. They are sooooooo good. When we make them we have to make a double batch because they don't last long enough!! I might have to make some and post the recipe some time!! 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
I can't wait to see your Vietnamese egg rolls as it is always interesting seeing the slight differences in the recipes. I just popped over to your blog and those little cakes inside the eggs are just so cute! Happy Easter to you! BAM
kitchenriffs says
One of the reasons I started blogging is so I'd finally collect all of my recipes. Anyway, thanks for the like to the Chả Giò recipe, and for your Nuoc Cham. I love these flavors, but don't cook them enough. You're an inspiration - thanks.

Creating our websites is a perfect way to keep all the recipes that are very dear to us in one convenient location. I think you will really like the flavors of the dipping sauce as it can be used with many dishes. Take Care, BAM
Averil says
What have I been doing that I only just discovered your blog and what a goldmine it is 🙂
Deep fried, pan-fried any which way would work for me. These look absolutely delicious.
Healthy World Cuisine says
I am so glad you stopped by my website so I could find yours. I am looking forward to keeping in touch. Take care, BAM

Bam, Can I come live with you for a week??? I love all of your recipes, so much!!! 😉
Healthy World Cuisine says
Absolutely Jen, We would love to have you! Really, if you do ever decide to take a trip to HK give me a ring. Take Care, BAM
Jeno @ Week Nite Meals says
Oh My Gosh Bam this looks so wonderful! We were on a weekend trip all around the Texas hill country, so there was no access to Asian food the whole time. Coming home and read your blog posting has me craving some good Viet food, thanks for sharing and the inspirations!
Healthy World Cuisine says
I am sure there was lots of TEX MEX in Texas Hill country.... Welcome back home. Thanks for your kind comment and as you know these are quite simple to make so you can take care of that Vietnamese food craving. Take care, BAM
bitsandbreadcrumbs says
These look so terrific, even before you pan fried them! I adore vietnamese rolls and haven't tried my hand at making any, but these are so tempting.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thanks, I also love spring rolls just plain not fried stuffed with tons of fresh veggies with my dipping sauce, but I have teenage boys at home and that would not go over well. My boys would be saying, where the meat mom?
promenadeplantings says
these look PERFECT and then you add the dipping sauce. Did I mention perfect?
Healthy World Cuisine says
You are so sweet, thanks!
Purely.. Kay says
These spring rolls have my mouth watering with envy. Ahh I wish I could make these right now. I miss spring rolls so much and I think its about time I make my own 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
Can you get the rice wrappers where you live? I know that sometimes hard to find unless you have a good Asian market. Of course that is not a problem here. LOL
Purely.. Kay says
There is a bunch of Asian markets here in NYC.. so I can get them :). I;m excited about this
Charles says
Hi Bam - I love things like these - I'm not sure if I've had this specific dish before but it's got all the things I love inside, so I'm certain it would be a winner for me - I bet my wife would love it too! So crispy and golden and delish 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thanks Charles. I think even the pickier eaters seem to like this dish. After all, my teenagers LOVE it! Right there that says it all. Have a great day. BAM
Sydney Jones says
Oh, these look dangerously delicious! I would love to try these 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
They are really no that hard to make. You can make the filling in advance. Take Care, BAM
Choc Chip Uru says
What a wonderful looking appetiser 😀
This version of spring rolls are delicious!
Thanks for yet another perfect recipe 🙂
Cheers
Choc Chip Uru
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thanks CCU! I just had a very dangerous thought for you the chocolate lover. You could probably slather nutella on rice wrappers and then fry and take out and sprinkle with sugar just hot off the skillet. That actually kinds sort of sinful. Take care, BAM
Choc Chip Uru says
Thank you thank you thank you!

I love Vietnamese food. The rice paper rolls look delicious!
