oddly they call that a summer roll and the fried ones spring rolls.
all delicious
Tippy too
Hi, those look good - some mighty thin skins, probably very low carb too.
Look easy enough but I would have to come up with a different sauce - no peanuts.
Maybe in the dead of Summer, in Viet Nam, they don’t want to fire the stove up; and want cool things to eat...
I think Hitchcock agreed with you.
Try this - similar to what I use for Potstickers:

Or go full Vietnamese American, and try the Huy Fong Sriracha - the story of that and of David Tran, is very inspiring.

that sounds very similar to what I make I add a little sesame oil and a very little cayenne pepper oil
...and accompanied with a sauce, usually peanut.

Any details on the sauce?
I’ve been impressed with how peanut butter plus soy sauce and chicken broth makes a nice basic sauce for stir fry.
Shrimp summer rolls yum!
My hair has gotten so long during lockdown that I have begun wearing it in a simple French twist.
The sesame oil is what really gives anything including it *character*. I love that stuff - we make a spinach salad that my Korean friends taught us; just spinach, sort of fried/steamed with a little sesame oil and garlic powder, and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Serve cold with soy sauce.
The ‘Delish’ link that I posted contained this (there are probably variations):
FOR PEANUT SAUCE:
1/2 c. smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 clove garlic, grated
1 tbsp. freshly grated ginger
4 tbsp. boiling water
1/4 c. crushed, toasted peanuts, for serving
It’s an elegant, timeless style.
The young people have seemed to be taking it up for proms, etc., in recent years. But we don’t see it enough any more.
peanut sauce? nuc mam cham
That sounds pretty good:

As a kid I loved Hitchcock. Favorite were Rear Window (Jimmy Stewart fan major), The Birds and Hitchcock’s TV show.
My favorite Asian is Dim Sum.
