Discover the art of making the most exquisite shrimp and meat spring rolls - a global culinary delight

In 2011, Vietnam claimed two dishes in the top 50 most delicious foods in the world. Today, PasGo invites you to explore the recipe for shrimp and meat spring rolls!

Spring rolls, a light dish crafted with fresh pork, shrimp, vermicelli, aromatic herbs, and various ingredients, all delicately wrapped in thin rice paper. Served with a dipping sauce featuring a harmonious blend of sweetness, saltiness, and a touch of sourness, topped with crushed peanuts. CNN has acclaimed spring rolls as a wholesome, safe, and easy-to-enjoy culinary delight.

From the sophisticated to the everyday, from East to West, once you've savored this dish, the memory lingers. Spring rolls are widely popular, found in street food stalls lining narrow alleys, roadside eateries, and even in upscale restaurants and hotels.

In Vietnamese cuisine, there's no dish as universally delightful as spring rolls. Whether enjoyed as a light snack or a satisfying meal, it never fails to please. Whether savored in a cozy eatery, at a street vendor's stall, or even on the go, the experience is always delightful. Occasionally, you might spot a backpacker strolling down the street, one hand holding spring rolls, the other dipping into sauce, chewing with contentment, eyes coolly observing the traffic. Notably, spring rolls have become an indispensable delicacy on the menu of Vietnamese restaurants in the West.

Foreigners even liken spring rolls to Vietnamese fast food, comparable to renowned brands like KFC or McDonald's. However, in terms of freshness, deliciousness, and health benefits, no fast food item can rival the qualities of this Vietnamese delight.

Here, PasGo presents you with the fantastic recipe for Shrimp and Meat Spring Rolls:

Ingredients:

- Shrimp: 500g

- Pork belly or thigh meat: 700g

- Rice paper: 1 pack

- Fresh vermicelli: 500g

- Ground bean sauce

- Lettuce, aromatic herbs, chives

- Pickled vegetables

- Finely crushed roasted peanuts (optional)

How to make shrimp and meat spring rolls:

Step 1:

Lettuce, aromatic herbs, and chives, rinse thoroughly and drain

Step 2: Prepare the shrimp

- Clean the shrimp thoroughly, place in a pot, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1-2 tablespoons of wine (no need for water, the shrimp will release its own liquid). Adding spices enhances the flavor and eliminates any fishy smell.

- Cover the pot, place it on the stove, and cook until the shrimp turn red, stirring evenly. Then, scoop out the shrimp, let them drain, peel and halve, removing the back vein.

Step 3: Prepare the meat

Clean the meat, remove any hair, wash it thoroughly, boil a pot of water, add a crushed onion, then cook the meat for about 20 minutes until it's done. Remove the meat, put it in cold water to keep it white and crisp. Finally, slice the meat into thin pieces.

Step 4: Roll the spring rolls

Dampen the rice paper, layer with greens, arrange vermicelli, meat, and shrimp on top, then add a decorative sprig of chives (for both fragrance and beauty). Roll tightly.

Step 5: Make the sauce

Saute a bit of garlic in oil, add the ground bean sauce, stir-fry together, and adjust sweetness with additional sugar.

Present the shrimp and meat spring rolls on a plate alongside a bowl of sauce, sprinkle with crushed peanuts and pickled vegetables (if desired). Now you can enjoy this delicious and healthy dish with your family and friends.
