Han Noi style crispy rice paper rolls with Nouc Mam dipping sauce

This is one of our most popular dishes at Coda and great for sharing. Every Vietnamese cook knows the importance of a good Nouc Mam sauce and Little Saigon is a true haven for all the ingredients.

Ingredients (serves 6)

350g Pork Shoulder, minced
200g Sweet Turnip, diced
2 eggs
30g Black Fungus Mushrooms
100g Vermicelli, rehydrated
150g Bean sprouts
50g Shallots
1 clove garlic, crushed
splash Fish sauce to taste
12 Large Round rice paper sheets (softened with water)
bunch Fresh Vietnamese mint and Iceberg lettuce to accompany
500ml water, hot
250g caster sugar
3 red banana chilli, finely diced
10 cloves garlic, finely diced
100ml rice wine vinegar
150ml fish sauce

Method

Mix all the above ingredients well and season. Soften rice paper sheets by sprinkling each sheet with water and stacking on top of eachother, wrap in a damp teatowel or banana leaf To Roll – Place 1 whole sheet down and place half of another sheet on top. This is to create an extra layer to strengthen roll. Place some mixure on the double layered sheet, bush with egg white, fold sides in and roll in to a cigar shape. Repeat process, deep fry in hot vegetable oil until golden brown. Serve with sweet chilli sauce, mint and lettuce.

Vietnamese food is the BEST. We went to Vietnam before we had kids, would love to take the kids there one day. I cook Vietnamese food when I can and love this recipe.

I’d love to try these but, never having heard of most of these ingredients I’ll wait until I go out to dine.

Wow it sounds amazing I always buy Asian inspired meals when eating out as I feel the recipes to make them are do complicated.
I bet this recipe would taste divine. Something I probably wouldn’t attempt to make though.

Love the tip with using two rice paper rounds, I did a similar recipe with one and it split when frying. Love this recipe.

I love spring rolls and these look delicious. Its the deep frying which makes them so crispy.
