So glad I found you. Vietnamese food is my absolute favorite cuisine. Love the tip re the damp towel for rice paper as opposed to dipping in water. Thank you!!

last year there was an exchange student from vietnam at my block in the dorm and she was really into cooking and generally making her own versions of food that is usually bought at cafes or specials shops. she was also really happy to cook for her neighbors and teach us a bit of her culture through food. although there were some things that weren't my cup of tea like, for example, matcha bubble tea (it's just that i really don't like matcha in any shape or form), there was one dish that i'm still dreaming about and that is traditional vietnamese spring rolls, it is one of the most delicious things that i have ever tasted and i've tried them only once in my life. i really want to recreate those magically delicious spring rolls but i'm so bad at cooking... let's hope that in some time i'll be able to taste them again.

[@thomasmarie8426]

Thank you for explaining the difference between the Chinese egg roll and the Vietnamese spring roll. I am going to try this recipe

[@teiakoi]

The ingredients inside Vietnamese spring roll are more and it contains more meat. Chinese is the opposite. Also egg rolls is a very popular and common dish in Vietnam. Many different region will have different version of it, this is just one of them. Some places use regular egg roll wrappers too but using spring wrappers is a Vietnamese twist. Though I recommend you experiment with whatever you want to put inside. That's the fun part of cooking it yourself.

[@khoaduy1402]

sis, in order to soften the rice paper, I usually add a little bit of vinegar and sugar to a bowl of water, spread this water on the rice paper using my fingers or a brush. This helps the rolls stay crispy for much longer time, also having a beautiful golden brown while deep frying. Plus, after rolling everything, you should put the rolls in the freezer for a few hours before frying. Finally, another trick is that, just like working with french fries, you should double fry the rolls. ^^ That's how my family makes those rolls.

[@HelenRecipes]

khoaduy1402 Great tips! Will definitely trying them out! Thanks sis.

[@fjckfam]

Oh I like your tricks Khoaduy: 1. add vinegar and sugar in water, 2. freeze them, 3. double fry. They all make sense. Thanks for sharing. Do you know that Vietnamese cooks tend to hide their cooking secrets. Thanks again for being generous. Love it.

[@jammygrammy1564]

Thank you!

[@benthekeeshond545]

khoaduy1402, That sounds really tasty but frying it again is not too healthy. Anyway, most tasty foods are not healthy. Thanks for your tips.

[@thaijohnston1840]

What is the benefit to freezing them first before frying? And how long to freeze first? 2 hours? 3 Hours? Thank you!

[@sahoang8240]

This young girl is so smart ! What she does always to tell us the truth . Sample "Nem ran" is so good . Thanks !

[@GV-su9ov]

I made this today. Perfect. I learned how to use rice paper wrapper. Trhe rolls taste exactly the same as what i eat in Viet restaurants. My husband prepared your dipping sauce and was really good. Thank you.

[@betsabemaldonado6045]

to see the recepy on video it's the best way to learn. This crispy spring rolls are delicious!. congratulations for been so young and cook so good. Thanks for sharing the recepy for this famous rolls.

[@agnesbfenoli]

Looks so good! My mouth is watering right now! I just bought the square Vietnamese Rice Paper. I will definitely make these! All the best!

[@wetheponytwins]

I made this and everyone, even picky eaters, enjoyed it. It especially went well with the peanut sauce. Very delicious!

[@Ploefje91]

Tried these with my own take on the filling but they were amazing! They didn't break.

[@tormentedsoul7852]

Thank you for this wonderful recipe. Your instructions were very easy to follow. I made these tonight and they turned out fantastic

[@luisespinosa2810]

been looking for something like this forever, absolutley love this...

[@moomoopuppy5810]

I've tried this back in high school after our Senior English teacher treated us to a Vietnamese food dinner after we all went to go watch a screening of Shakespear's Henry V. on 2nd st here in San Jose. They were so good.

[@sewaldodiy]

Looks good I made spring rolls before but not with rice paper I will give this a try!

[@petes_CE]

I love vietnamese food, but man, some of these dishes are so labor intensive. I remember when I was little, I used to watch my mom make these. I was hoping to make them myself, but not sure if I have enough time to make them. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

[@mykilososa8000]

awesomeness! i ve been looking for a video that shows this type of wrapper being fried. thanks for sharing!

[@churro387]

Thank you so much! I live in the middle of nowhere, and the only vietnamese restaurant nearby just closed. Gotta get my fix, and now I have a recipe! Is there a way to make them ahead in large batches to fry later? I've improvised spring rolls in the past, and often use wild herbs to go with it (like wild parsley, wild onions, miner's lettuce, mint, watercress, pennycress, etc.). That way I don't have to drive an hour to the store, and it always tastes amazing. Use what's local and fresh, just like the vietnamese do! Your videos are the only thing I let my 9 month old son watch with me, because they are so pleasant, entertaining and family-friendly. He loves them! I won't be surprised if "Helen" is among his first words! Thanks for doing what you do!

[@888katiechau]

Yes you can; you can put them in the freezer uncooked for a few weeks. I normally make extra put them in the freezer than give them to my family and when they ready to eat it they just need to fry fry them. Remember to eat them lots of fresh lettuce, herbs and rice vermicelli noodle. Hope this helps with your question.

[@churro387]

Thanks! I'll try that.

[@patriciagimay9195]

@@888katiechau Hi can you fry them straight from the freezer to the hot pan Thanking you I made some yesterday. I cooked my meat and rolled them and fried them about 1 hour later they were not crispy . Is it best to fry them hours after rolling them?

[@AlishaAviles]

Thank you Helen! Your video really helped me tonight! Absolutely love you!

[@TheCbach56]

Fry them.twice. first time on medium low to cook the meat inside first. Take them out. Fry the second time on medium high to crispy

[@michaelp8850]

Looks SO YUMMY!!! my Vietnamese dad used to make these all the time when I was little! Looking forward to making these myself. Thanks for the video!

[@hocutmeo3318]

👍👍 Excellent. Finally! So glad to see a video of a Vietnamese cook using Vietnamese rice paper ((Bánh Tráng) and not the Chinese spring roll or Chinese wonton wrapper to make Vietnamese egg rolls. Some cooks use the Chinese spring wrapper to make so-called Vietnamese egg rolls. Chinese roll wrapper is way too coarse, is way too thick compared to Vietnamese rice paper (Bánh Tráng). The Chinese wrapper makes Vietnamese egg roll taste like the oily Chinese roll --- ew.

[@HelenRecipes]

Haha Vietnamese rice paper will give the better taste fot this recipe 😊

[@LifebyMikeG]

[@phuongkatoo]

Chị Helen ơi, nem rán Bắc nhân cũng dùng tôm (ít hơn thịt) và cả mộc nhĩ lẫn nấm hương, hành lá, ko dùng đậu phụ ạ. Ngoài ra gia vị thì vẫn thường cho 1 thìa nước mắm cho dậy mùi. Nem rán cũng gói bằng loại vỏ y như chả giò và cách gói cũng thế luôn đó chị. Loại vỏ đa nem em thấy chị dùng trong video hình như là loại ăn liền dùng trong các món cuốn chứ không phải loại cho nem rán ạ. Em là người Bắc nên muốn chia sẻ một chút :D

[@danalim6297]

I’ve made these a couple of times now. It’s definitely a keeper. Thanks for the great recipe!

[@gracechong7528]

Hey Helen! How many spring rolls can you make with this recipe? I love your cooking so much! This is how I learned how to make Vietnamese food. Thank you! 😊

[@xKaoKaox]

oOo I love the texture of the banh trang cha gio compared to the normal ones. Definitely giving this recipe a try :) Thanks Helen!

[@HelenRecipes]

@Johan Kim: Please join Google+ so I can reply you. The bubbles appear because the rice paper or the filling is wet. So soften rice paper with a slightly dampf cloth and avoid making the filling wet.

[@ezekiel318]

Helen's Recipes (Vietnamese Food) Hi helen, thanks for the video. Where did you buy your banana leaf serving dish? It looks so real‼ I was looking for that in the internet, but I couldn't find one.

+Ezekiel David I bought it in a local market in Vietnam. It's very popular here, but not so much overseas unfortunately

[@julial3758]

+Helen's Recipes (Vietnamese Food) How high was the heat for the frying because mine all ripped open when i fried it. Could you give us the brand of rice paper you used in the first scenario?

[@paajRose]

Thank you so much for the recipe. I've always made this spring roll but never understood why the wrapping paper always tear when frying. But now, I will try your method of how to add moisture to the paper without dipping it into warm water. Thank you!!

[@crocostimpy]

That was really cool. I've had spring rolls in both northern & southern style but didn't realize it until I saw this video. Great video...

I am salivating. This is my favourite treat to have with bubble tea at the cafe downtown! I just can't wait to make it at home, thank you for the recipe! My boyfriend is allergic to shrimp, can I replace it with chicken or should I just go all-pork?

[@tatchanpunk974]

It tastes best with half of pork, half of seafood( shrim, manrtis shrim, crab..) 1/2 pork + 1/2 beef r quite ok, of course cant as good as seafood. Basiclly u can replace the meat with any kind of meat.

Helen, ich habe das rezept eben gerade ausprobiert, und was soll ich sagen? es ist so, so, so, sooooo lecker! es schmeckt genauso wie in dem vietnamesischen restaurant was geschlossen hat, wo ich sie immer gegessen habe. nächstes mal werde ich gleich die doppelte menge machen, und welche einfrieren.

Helen's Recipes (Vietnamese Food) genau, ich hatte dich mal gefragt, ob du dieses rezept machen kannst. thank you so much ^_^

[@ThaoLeSmileyEyes]

Hi Helen, I am a Northern Vietnamese and as other viewers commented here, the Northern style you demonstrated was incorrect. The rice paper, banh trang, in the video is not for frying, but used for spring rolls dish. It has more chewy texture and saltier. The rice paper we use for frying is made of only rice flower and water, and toast over open fire many time or sundry so they are very much crunchier. Because you have many non- Vietnamese subscribers, your video has great impact and may mislead people in misunderstanding in Northern cuisine. I hope you will avoid this in the future. Thank you. Keep up the good work!

[@flintsky7706]

[@rosemichaelis9519]

Guys! Only Vietnamese rice paper in Vietnam can be fried like this. The one for export is only for raw spring rolls or summer rolls. It contains more sodium than the rice paper in Vietnam so it will break easily when you fry. That's why Vietnamese in America usually uses thicker spring roll wrapper like Chinese unless they bought rice paper from homeland. I learn this from many too.

My husband told me that I make Crispy Spring roll is the best delicious he have ever eaten in hislife, though he had eaten at a lot of hotels and places. So, I'm happy, and want to share with you a few My experience of doing this . - I've never been abroad so I do not know how you can choose something to make it . I'm not too proud to Vietnam when sáy that vietnam have 4 seasons so the herbs, and abundant food. so you can hardly buy food fresh and tasty as in Vietnam. Maybe so, that is reason why you come to vietnam to eat it. I will be happy to help you, why not? - Leaf spring rolls are very important, so that when the package leaf spring not broken and unbroken as fried oil spring rolls. you need to choose carefully . When you have to buy the book leaves it rolls back if it is not broken, it must be flexible and not too thin. it's slightly more expensive than the often leaf spring. Because it is made better. - Pork shoulder you should choose lean meat with a little fat rolls do not go to full red meat will be dry. - Beef again - Pork and beef shredding, not too small, not grind because it's not as good as anywhere. - Mushrooms and wood ear mushroom and chopped pickled hot water - You chopped onion - Carrots cut small line - Cold vermicelli soaked in water and then move segments - Mix them together by hand so that they are merged together - Then for many little pepper because it will make better smell. The most difficult thing is the ratio between the components is how much is enough. You have asked me this later. if you care. you have to cut out the leaf spring rolls ... to roll them so beautiful When you have fried spring rolls fried small fire. and frying time, when frying, the small fire, the first time you take small fire then when you take out off you need big fire to have a least oil in it And more important is the sauce and vegetables. What have you asked that. If you are interested I will share later So when we eat together they arent appetite cloyed. and very easy to eat. It is fun to share with you. My husband and I still joke that. Why not delicious Vietnamese food when lose alot time to do it and care everything from vegetabe and meat and ratio... to fix it very perfect. I usually take 2 hours to do it. so it isnt a meal. it is feeling from a person to other person. from buttom myheart

Tnx fr sharing ur knowledge to us,Helen...i love watching ur videos xoxoxo

[@jamesdooling4139]

Rice paper is much more delicate than it appears; especially once it goes into the oil. Be gentle with them when turning. I might suggest double-wrapping each one for the novice fryer. It doesn't add much time to the cooking process and will keep all of your goodies from falling out into the oil. I like to soak each sheet in water quickly, lay one down, soak the next, lay it right on top of the first one -- a few air bubbles between the sheets are okay, but not many -- and then start rolling. You can also roll each one first, then go back and re-wrap each one in a second sheet, but this technique is more difficult in removing the air bubbles between the sheets. If you like really crispy, really dark, really fried spring rolls, you can wrap each one twice the first time, then add a third sheet; however, if you do this, you will want to partially pre-cook any ground meats you might be using. If you're more adventurous and have a large frying pan, you can lay down four sheets in a horizontal "8" or infinity shape and make really long spring rolls. Make sure the sheets are overlapping well and not just laid side-by-side. This is often how restaurants make their rolls so they may be sliced into 4-6 pieces each and then plated to have a smaller, sushi-roll shape.

Cam on Co Helen. Gia dinh minh la tu Ha Noi. Nguoi Ha Noi thi dung cu dau/jicama. If you go to Paris, you can buy nem ran at most stores and it does not have to be an Asian store and they use rice paper. Another information is this. Nem ran is very popular in north Africa region because the France had ruled or dominated places like Tunisia so they brought Vietnamese food to North Africa region.
