    I found it. I found it! I have moved 3 times across borders and there was something that has gone missing. Well not missing, but just hidden.

    This was a very vital piece of paper as it had Christine's fantastic recipe for Vietnamese Chả Giò. My teenage boys have been begging for this yummy recipe for years and I just found it folded neatly in one of my other cooking books that have sailed the great seas from America to Asia.

    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.

    Here is another yummy dipping sauce that I like to make is Nuoc Cham...It has all the yummy Asian flavors of salty, sweet, sour and spicy....
    Nuoc Cham (Dipping Sauce)
    • 1 cup fish sauce
    • ½ cup white vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 cup water
    • juice of 1 lemon
    • 1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper sauce
    • 4 carrots finely shredded
    • 1 clove garlic finely minced
    • daikon radish finely shredded
    Step 1: Combine all the ingredients together and allow them to marinate. If stored in the refrigerator in a sealed jar can be kept for up to a month.

      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!! 🙂

        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

      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.

      Deep fried, pan-fried any which way would work for me. These look absolutely delicious.

      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!

      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.

        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?

        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

      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 🙂

        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
