It's so obvious that Nigella had never used rice paper before making this, she practically let it dissolve to nothing.

[@j.g.3453]

I've never used rice paper before, never had a roll like that before, and had no idea it needed to be rehydrated in the first place, and it was still very obvious that you'd only want to moisten it, not soak it.

[@angelachouinard4581]

@@j.g.3453 I was taught "just dip it, like how you put your toe when you know the water is very cold" by my teacher. I have never over wetted one with that image in my head.

[@csurampower]

The part that kills me the most is TV chefs like Lawson inspire people to cook like them. You know there are thousands of British people out there either recreating this sad recipe, or worse, adding their own "creative twists" and making spaghetti and fried popcorn shrimp spring rolls. They'll make these abominations, then think, "This is authentic Vietnamese food, and it doesn't taste or look good. I guess I don't like Vietnamese food."

[@woundedone]

It more authentic to just fried anything and dip in fish sauce than the thing she made.

[@MyaB1986]

My boyfriend's mom adores Nigella and has all her cookbooks (not that she makes anything out of them) and when I made fun of Nigella my British boyfriend warned me not to do it in front his mom ever.

[@romanteni]

That wasn't a Summer, Spring or even Autumn roll. Nigella made a soggy, wet brown Winter roll. She killed that recipe and made me feel dead inside.

[@thejunglekitchen]

haha, well, she is from England where it is almost permanently drizzling and wintery, so perhaps she was going for something like "Seasonal Affective Disorder Rolls" lol

[@JerriBlank]

i will never understand when a professional chef cooks another cultures dish why they never research it, in these days of information on everything being available all the time how can you not take a bit of time and do it right. and with online ordering access to proper ingredients has never been better.

[@elvickRULES]

You assume they’re chefs and not tv personalities cooking

[@iPhong]

When Uncle Roger asked "Who Cut Summer Rolls?" It reminds me of a bunch of Vietnamese Restaurant in USA actually cut the summer rolls & double the prices, haiyaaaaa

[@sjors420]

That's some Salt Bae bullshit level ripoff right there

[@etatauri]

I do prefer it whole, but when you're out with friends and want to share an appetizer, cutting them in half makes it convenient. What bothers me more is that she is cutting them in pieces and have all the contents spill out. They're not even bite sized as they are still biting them and getting noodles everywhere! wtf doesn't make sense in any way.

[@bobd2659]

@@etatauri There's certainly a time and a place where cutting them is fine - sharing, for kids, and (in my case) if you can't find the right size rice paper and end up with something too big! This...was NOT one of those times!

@@johnmanalang8249 not only fried one but also non-fried one like in video as well

[@sjors420]

As a Vietnamese i am still wondering how can she mess up the noodles, they are completely different, both texture and flavour. I think she is trying to make a depressed hybrid of spring roll and summer roll

[@badateverything5392]

The BBC gives their chefs a recipe to follow and the ingredients to make the dish; if she was working with them, this is the first time she has ever come into contact with rice paper. The researchers don't think about cultural authenticity, but rather how they can make this look achievable with British supermarket ingredients, as this will draw in more viewers.

[@rakkis1576]

@@badateverything5392 I am pretty sure that if you've already found mung bean noodles, you'll find rice noodles on the shelf next to them. I get the desire to make food achievable for your viewers, but I don't think it applies in this case.

My ancestors in slavery in the American South now have another reason to cry and demand reparations for anyone who bought Nigella's cookbook.

[@KaiserAfini]

If Auntie Thuy made a summer roll video, then that is a glowing recommendation. Her pho was a thing of beauty and her cookbook seemed like a labor of love, I have full confidence it will be delicious.

[@lmpeters]

She did make a tutorial video on her own channel, and it's well worth watching.

[@ZulqarnainAidil]

I made summer roll as a kid for gatherings or picnics. It's a nice cool finger food, a break from the usual fried foods with nice fresh ingredients. What she made looks pretty disgusting ngl.

[@yesitsreallyOtter]

'you can do that with all food' yes, absolutely true, and it's always weird to hear people act like anything other than like maybe an extremely sloppy joe or something is unsuited to eating in some scenario

[@jingocat6920]

Oh dear and dio mio! I used to live and work in a Chinese/Vietnamese community in Boston. Fresh spring rolls are a favorite, so I paid close attention to my coworkers lunches, brilliant cooks all. Now, I live in the woods and still crave a fix. After many attempts at home, I finally nailed it. Yup, that rice paper sheet needs seconds. The vermicelli needs chew. And the key tip-roll tightly, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap ASAP if not enjoying right away. It will firm the roll, better for dipping. And do NOT use Italian basil. Drive wherever you need to, or grow your own, but use fresh Thai basil and fresh mint.

[@michel4rthur]

Yup, another episode of Brits destroying Asian food. Jamie's fried rice Jamie's ramen Nigela's summer roll I can do this all day

[@woundedone]

Most of Vietnamese food have fish sauce in it. You dip, drip, you put it into the pot. When I saw the soy sauce, I was like "aw, frick here we go again".

[@petoperceptum]

Man I love summer rolls, it horrifies me that my countrypeople might be tricked into eating these instead.

[@nicholasmangialardi1618]

What's with the sexytime music she's got running? I laughed my ass off during this reaction. "No no no, don't douse sh*t!" Lol

[@Rarazan]

stop making excuses for those chefs, no matter where they from, its just pure overinflated ego, they eated food in past so they stupidly think that they know exactly how to do it, 0 reserch 0 care

[@alinayossimouse]

Honestly, my initial reaction was: "How can you fuck up spring rolls". The answer is: "spectacularly"

[@Justfishcatches]

This reminds me of teaching my American wife how to assemble spring rolls because she loves them so much. After watching her fail to follow directions I just take over from her 😂 This reminds me of my wife failing 😅

[@IrisD2215]

I've been eating spring rolls my whole life and I have something to say about this. 1. No vinegar, no matter what sauce you do, just lime. 2. Rice noodle is naturally a little bit sour already, so with soy sauce and vinegar in it, it's gonna be sour as f***. 3. You don't necessarily drown rice paper in water, just spread some water on it with your fingers and it's gonna soften immediately as it rehydrates super quickly. You don't want the rice paper to break when you roll it. 4. Highly recommend making the sauce with some fish sauce, sugar, lime, MSG, garlic and chilies, it can literally go with any types of spring rolls, besides vegetarian rolls. 5. If you can, don't cut the roll, just eat it whole because it dries up real fast. Yeah I live in the southwest side of Vietnam so things can be a little different in other places. However, I believe we all know that the thing Nigella did wasn't spring roll at all, just some random rice paper with herbs and mung bean noodle s****.

[@kaisergolin7360]

I don't think rice noodle suppose to taste sour, that just mean it gone bad...

[@Uldihaa]

There's no protein in those rolls either. Also, did she use multiple layers of rice paper? Her rolls are really opaque, not the translucent they should be.

[@HongVanKhangTruong]

I guess someone miss up spring roll and summer roll when they were visiting VN. Only VNese cut spring roll and it is only when they eat it with rice rice vermicelli. And VNese spring roll use booth both of those noodles. Depend on what they prefer.

[@deathpyre42]

So, this is kinda cursed as hell, but did you ever try dipping spring rolls in Caesar Salad dressing? Just double the anchovies and omit the Worcestershire and it's oddly good.

[@moodchanger3470]

sounds great actually

[@ZarathosDaimaoh]

The key word is dipping . Dipping with whatever you want at home , is fine . It's another matter if dropping it in the assembly like some tossed salad , like she did .

[@eliasaltenberg]

Anyone who has eaten an extensive amount of Asian food and gives a f**** about what they are eating knows the difference between rice noodles and starch noodles. Heck, if you ever have eaten an extensive amount of Vietnamese food, you know the ingredients to make this dish: rice wraps, thai basil or betel leaf, lettuce, shrimp or pork primarily(I have had versions with crab and mango), sometimes carrots, sometimes Cucumber, sometimes mint, cilantro, and either peanut sauce, tamarind sauce, or plum sauce(mostly I've seen the tamarind sauce with ground peanuts). How did they get this so wrong?

[@flapdrol]

13:02 Nigella's knife technique says it all. Also I don't know why she uses a towel as a plate, maybe she thinks that will dry the rice paper?

[@kith6118]

They are making something like popiah, where it is a little wet because of the vege that was used but not that wet in the video.

[@scpfoundation9604]

Favorite thing my mom likes to cook, cause of simplicity and i have to do the assembling myself. Only thing she really needs to do is make the dipping sauce. 😅

[@BaconNDCheese]

the ONE and ONLY viable sauce for this is peanut sauce babyyyyyy

[@CarlGorn]

As a white guy who worked for a Hong Kong native in his restaurant, I was shaking my head all through this, picturing how she would get yelled at by the owner, his wife, the two line cooks above me in the kitchen, the dishwasher, and half the wait staff if she did this in his place. 🤣

I hate the term summer rolls. its not necessarily wrong, but ive always called it spring rolls growing up and had people call it that too. Im a hoison sauce and chili paste person, peanut sauce as a close second and fish sauce if im desperate. Soy sauce is a bit weird. Also not a garlic chive fan, good for looks though haha. Also tip if anyone wanna make these, roll with a pinching motion. Aside from getting the right portions inside right, having a tighter roll will help keep the structural integrity.

[@lostsanityreturned]

Brian Tsao "you can do that with any food" I mean... there are many foods I wouldn't have as starters or outside with drinks. :p

In saber fending and rapier we make sure the noobs don't put the finger on top of the blade.. even sword fighters know that!

[@kweassa6204]

Spring roll itself, almost no sauce, just fresh ingredients wrapped in good quality rice paper. Dipping sauce comes optional. If you put sauce to the ingredients it won't wrap properly, and sauce just squirts out from every opening really messy. People usually eat the rolls with dipping sauce, but a well made roll should have the ingredients giving off a refreshing feeling of crisp vegetables with very subtle, natural sweet flavor, that it's actually pretty good even without the sauce. Feels light, refreshing, and a good way to eat a mix of veggies and it should NOT taste like eating a salad with oily or overpowering sauce. ... this is a travesty!!!!!
