COLORFUL and Healthy Vietnamese FRESH Spring Rolls 清爽美味的健康小吃: 越南春卷
The one very unique thing about Gỏi cuốn aside from its fresh, delicious taste, is how colourful, and pretty looking it is. This is mainly due to the use of an almost transparent, but robust rice paper called bánh tráng, to wrap, secure and showcase the colours of the ingredients. It does take a bit of practice to know how to best position the components to accentuate the colourful elements harmoniously.
