Did you know?
Vietnamese spring rolls are also called gỏi cuốn, meaning “salad rolls.”
Unlike fried spring rolls, they are not cooked—just rolled.
The rice paper used is thin and slightly chewy once moistened.
Common dipping sauces include hoisin-peanut or nuoc cham (fish sauce based).
Drawbacks ⚠️
Low in fiber unless filled with lots of veggies.
Dipping sauces can add sugar and sodium.
Not very filling on their own—can lead to overeating.
