HOW TO MAKE AUTHENTIC VIETNAMESE SPRING ROLLS (GOI CUON) || 3 WAYS: SPRING ROLL SAUCE RECIPE

As a Vietnamese, these 3 dipping sauces are my usual go-to for making authentic Vietnamese spring rolls at home! I’ll show you tips to wrap spring rolls too so you can brag your summer rolls to your friends and family!
IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
This combi of greens is commonly used in Vietnam, it gives good balance of taste & texture. Some people also added: shredded carrots, egg strips, perilla leaves, fish mint, even otaheite apple’s young or mango young leaves (for its sourness) etc.
You can use pork belly, or a cut that has some fats. I went shopping too late so I had to use tenderloin ;)
Rice paper with more tapioca starch + thicker = easier to roll for beginners but can be chewy. The ones with more rice flour + thinner = harder to roll, but more delicious!
A roll that is packed firmly with layers of ingredients will taste better, not messy to eat, and less likely to break
Pork slices & other moisture rich ingredients should be wrapped inside the greens so they don’t touch the rice paper. If not, it may causes breakage
There are different brands of fish sauce, hoisin sauce, salted bean etc so always taste and adjust accordingly
I used Healthy Boy Salted Soya Bean Paste. Some brands added soya sauce which is not so good for the sauce
These 3 sauces aren't the only ones that can be used to dip with Gỏi cuốn. However, they are more widely used, more palatable and easier to eat for most people
INGREDIENTS:
1. SPRING ROLLS
300g pork (your choice of cut)
10 whole medium prawns, peeled
Prawn heads and shells
Lettuce
Mint
Thai sweet basil
Chives
Beansprouts
Julienned cucumber
Rice vermicelli noodle
A bowl of water
A clean tea towel
2. HOISIN & PEANUT SAUCE
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 medium shallot, finely minced
5 tbs Hoisin sauce
175 ml of stock (prepared above)
2 tbs chunky peanut butter
½ tbs sugar
½ tbs sriracha or chili sauce
½ tbs white vinegar
3. SWEET AND SOUR GARLIC FISH SAUCE
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 large Thai chili, finely minced
5 tbs white sugar
3 tbs lime juice
6 tbs warm water
4 tbs fish sauce
4. SALTED SOYA BEANS SAUCE
1 bowl of milk (optional)
40g sliced pig’s liver (optional)
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 medium shallot, finely minced
3.5 tbs salted soya beans paste
175 ml stock
About 40g rock sugar, or about 3 tbs sugar
2 tbs chunky peanut butter
½ tbs sriracha/chili sauce
½ tbs white vinegar
STEPS:
1. SPRING ROLLS
Soak & cook rice vermicelli according to package’s directions
Boil pork in 400 ml of water, remove and submerge in cold water once cooked
Boil peeled prawns for 1 min
Add prawn heads and shells, simmer for around 10 mins to make a stock for the sauce.
Slice pork thinly & slice prawn into halves
Place rice paper glossy side down on a large plate
Wet the towel then wipe both sides of rice paper
Break the stem of the lettuces leaves to flatten it
Make a rectangular lettuce bed at the bottom half of the rice paper, lay the herbs, cucumber, beansprouts, rice vermicelli & pork slices on top
Roll the bottom half up, fold right side in, lay chives down, then fold left side to secure.
Lay the halves of the prawns, orange side down, stuck in firmly & roll the rest
Stack the rolls up vertically to trim chives for better presentation
2. HOISIN & PEANUT SAUCE
In a sauce pan, fry garlic and shallot with some oil until fragrant
Add hoisin, stock and peanut butter. Stir well to dissolve
Add sugar, sriracha and white vinegar. Remember to taste & adjust!
Garnish individual sauce bowl with: pickled radish & carrot strips, crushed toasted peanuts, minced chili, crispy shallot
3. SWEET & SOUR GARLIC FISH SAUCE
Follow this order so the garlic and chili can float beautifully
Add garlic, chili & sugar in a bowl. Mix well
Add lime juice & water. Mix until sugar is dissolved
Add fish sauce last
Garnish individual sauce bowl with: pickled radish and carrot strips
4. SALTED SOYA BEAN SAUCE
Soak liver in milk for 30 mins to remove odor, then wash and rinse very well
Press to remove excess water
In a sauce pan, fry garlic and shallot with some oil until fragrant
Add liver, stir fry until cooked, then add salted soya bean and stock
Blend the mixture until quite smooth
Add rock sugar, peanut butter & stir until dissolved
Add sriracha & vinegar
Garnish individual sauce bowl with: pickled radish and carrot strips, crushed toasted peanuts, minced chili, crispy shallot
Good luck making them, let me know which one is your favorite. Mine is the salted soya bean sauce!

Wow the different condiments look so good ! My favourite is still the peanut sauce. Summer roll is one of those dishes that you can literally put anything inside it and still tastes good (as long as there’s a great sauce to go with it :) Love your video ♥️

[@ChubbyWhale]

Yes, it is so versatile and everyone can make their preferred version of gỏi cuốn! ♥️ Thank you for your support!

[@carina0955]

I love that you add chive, makes it more visually attractive! I wish I can wrap like in the video, mine always very loose lol The sauces are amazing, never knew about it before

[@ChubbyWhale]

Happy to know you enjoy them 💗 yes tighter wrap offers a better bite hence taste more delicious! Let me know how it goes when you try them, good luck!:D

[@gg-sb8mn]

Carina , I'm told to gently pull the roll towards your tummy as you roll with all 8 fingers , gently stretch on the roll as you are rolling. It snugs it up as you roll in the opposite direction away from you. Give it a try 🙋

[@HangLeCuocsongonhat]

Wow. It's so yummy 🤤. I'm Vietnamese but I know only 1 fish sause. Thank you for sharing this video ❤❤❤
